To Live In Your World

I don't remember her face

Or why I was there

I just remember feeling angry

Something made me hate her

I had to suffocate her

My common sense

Spoke of no consequence

But I want to live

I want to live

In your world

I am evil

I am brutal

So you say you must

Be rid of me

It frightens you

To look at me

'Cause when you do

What you see

Is a reflection of yourself

And your society

But I want to live

I want to live

In your world

For the man who steals

A piece of bread for his children

Shall we cut off his hands?

Yeah... that'll show him

For the man who speaks

His mind to the sentry

Shall we cut out his tongue?

Yeah... that'll teach him

I want to live

I want to live

In your world

This isn't justice

This is revenge

It doesn't work

It doesn't end

What of the man

Convicted innocent?
