Out of Range (live)

Lyrics

just the thought
 of our bed
 makes me crumble like the plaster
 where you punched the wall beside my head
 and i try
 to draw the line
 but it ends up running down the middle of me
 most of the time
 boys get locked up in some prison
 girls get locked up in some house
 and it don't matter if it's a warden
 or a lover
 or a spouse
 you just can't talk to 'em
 you just can't reason
 you just can't leave
 and you just can't please 'em
 i was locked
 into being my mother's daughter
 i was just eating bread and water
 thinking
 nothing ever changes
 and i was shocked
 to see the mistakes of each generation
 will just fade like a radio station
 if you drive out of range
 if you're not angry
 you're just stupid
 or you don't care
 how else can you react
 when you know
 something's so unfair
 the men of the hour
 can kill half the world in war
 make them slaves to a super power
 and let them die poor
 i was locked
 into being my mother's daughter
 i was just eating bread and water
 thinking
 nothing ever changes
 and i was shocked
 to see the mistakes of each generation
 will just fade like a radio station
 if you drive out of range
 just the thought
 of our bed
 makes me crumble like the plaster
 where you punched the wall beside my head
 and i try
 to draw the line
 but it ends up running down the middle of me
 most of the time
 baby i love you
 that's why i'm leaving
 there's no talking to you
 and there's no pleasing you
 and i care enough
 that i'm mad
 that half the world don't even know
 what they could have had
 i was locked
 into being my mother's daughter
 i was just eating bread and water
 thinking
 nothing ever changes
 and i was shocked
 to see the mistakes of each generation
 will just fade like a radio station
 if you drive out of range
