Paroles de Understand

In eighteen years You have it all figured out You know the score What it's all about Such a short time But so far to go You cannot even understand What you don't know Eyes wide open But you cannot see Their helplessness Their suffering Their misery Then in a contemptuous tone You proceed to tell me Fairy tales and bullshit Of how it should be It's not that way Six white walls Become a rich girl's cage Sheltered from Their impoverished rage Your attitude hurts more than bombs ever will It's stupidity that kills Why can't you understand? (When you're in your white walls You don't have to see) Why can't you understand? You shut your eyes And close your mind But that can't hide the shame Or the pain I hold you to blame for their pain You're to blame
