One, two, three, four
I have waited all these years
For your face to reappear
I have waited all these years
For you to see me here
Mother
I don’t need an icon
That’s bygone
When I was little
You told me to grow up and be strong
When I was little
You convinced me that I belonged
But you were wrong
You were wrong
You were wrong
Now I don’t know what to say
When I was little, we prayed
You said that I would be great
Wrong!
Because inside, I feel rage
And you died in vain
I’m a beast out my cage
Uh-oh!
I wish that I could erase
All the feelings of pain
I’m a child of rape
So-oh
I’m only half your babe
The other half: disgraced
Maybe I should embrace
This dark place
I have waited all these years
For your face to reappear
I have waited all these years
For you to see me here
Mother
I don’t need an icon
That’s bygone
There’s been violence in the streets all along
You took their lives in your hands and it was wrong
You led those people in their very own death song
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Ah-ah, ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la
Left me all alone!
You gave up being my mother - for what?
Now I am livid because
I don’t got no one to trust
Oh, no!
It’s time to take a stand
It’s time to be a man
You have to understand
You were wrong!
I have waited all these years
For your face to reappear
I have waited all these years
Life’s not like it appears
I can use force
Like you never could
I can stand tall
Where you never stood
I won’t take this shit from anyone!
So-
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light!
From what I know, the road’s still golden
And I’ll always believe in you
What we’ve been through
We can’t undo
But I know, here with you
We can see it through
Don’t listen to her, brother!
If you don’t kill her, we’ll both be dead!
Think of all that’s left unsaid!
That isn’t true!
Look at how she laughs at you!
Markos! Stop it! Can’t you see that he is—
We have so much more to do!
Venice, I love you!
They’re gonna kill us both!
Do what you have to do to get us back on the road
I have always loved and (She has never loved or)
Believed in you! (Believed in you!)
You could be great!
You could be great!
You could be great!
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light!
Stop!
You can’t trust a man
You can’t trust my man
You can’t trust that man!
No!
Why am I stuck in this lie?
I should have known better than to trust his eyes!
I should have known better, should have read the signs!
‘Cause that man lies! All the time!
Emilia!
Don’t!
I’m done playing with you and the war you provoke!
Playing everyone like it’s some big joke!
You would push it till it burned with no concern!
You ************!
I would kill you to stop you!
He blew up the wedding! He killed Michael Victor! He murdered Theodore Westbrook!
Woman, you shut your mouth!
Markos! Is that true?
I wanted to love and be loved
And with you, I believed in love
But you never loved me
You only used me!
So why should I be stuck in this lie?
I’m gonna tell the whole world your disguise
Gonna reveal your plan, ‘cause it’s time
To stop living blind and live my life!
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light and then
Put out the light, put out the light!
