lyrics

Shifting zones, switching phones, I'm a twitching drone
a voice without a body
Sixteen lines of modern times, are you satisfied?
Am I a big bang for the money?

Impressions made a picture frame could not contain
this voice without a body
But there was a time when I spoke in rhyme
while bathed in light and everybody saw me

Punch the clock, a rich man's stock goes up a notch
and I am doing right
I will learn how not to burn
I won't discern the darkness from the light
Mama says girl bow your head, the time for dreams
has long since come and gone
But there was a time when I sang in rhyme while bathed in light
and people sang along

fire can burn, but the cold just stops me, breaks me down
leaves me tired, leaves me shattered, leaves me empty

Eight to five, I must survive, times five times five
and I am doing right
lessons in suppression, i"m your soldier
and you will teach me not to fight
Uncle says 'girl, bow your head, dreams are things we sell that you can slave to buy'
but there was a time I spoke in rhyme while bathed in light
the thought now makes me cry

fire can burn, but the cold just stops me, breaks me down
leaves me tired, leaves me shattered, leaves me empty
