Lyrics: Cecilie Vahle
Music: Cecilie Vahle
They tried to write you out of history
By painting the picture that they wanted to see
I like to believe it’s a product of their own agony
When feeding us with phrases like “we’ve come a long way already”
You ran so I could crawl
You did the job
I’m stumbling ‘round like an unemployed
And you were never wrong
It’s brutal out here
It’s cruel!
(They’re cruel)
I gotta pick it up and pull my weight
But I’m choking on the words I’m trying to say
What if they call my bluff and they’ll know that I am dead scared
What if they tell me I don’t get a say in this screwed up debate
You ran so I could crawl
You did the job
I’m stumbling ‘round like an unemployed
And you were never wrong
It’s brutal out here
It’s cruel!
(They’re cruel)
No, you were never wrong
It’s brutal out here
It’s cruel!
(They’re cruel)
