Lyrics

V1
Her mama's finally free from a man who never loved her
Her mama's just forgotten how to be a mother
It's mama's turn to live her life, having wasted over fourteen years
But how do you explain this to child who has as many fears?
V2
Carmen calls me up or sends poems in the mail
She tells me how it's goin' she tells me why she's scared
She says she's been a naughty girl, she's smokin' every single day
She says she wants to be someone, but she's throwing her life away
B-sect
And who will be there for her?
Who will take care of her? ('Cuz)
CHORUS
Carmen broke the rules today
Carmen meant no harm she said
Carmen needs someone to say
Carmen it'll be O.K .
V3
Carmen sees a boy who stops by after school
He leaves before her mom gets home she's breakin' every rule
She claims that she's a teenager, so obliged to her fellow peers
To attempt what is not allowed, there's defiance in her every tear, and...

Repeat B Sect & CHORUS

Bridge
Nothing's real / Nothing works / Hating's hard / Loving's worse
Rules stink / Laws are lame/ Who's to blame / Life is strange
Go ahead / I don't care / Size me up / Nothing's fair
Decimate / Isolate / Contemplate me
What's it mean?/ Where's it from? / Shut your mouth / I'm not done
Life is hard / I'm in flux / I feel shamed / Crying sucks
I am angry and sad / I am told that I'm bad
Purify / Simplify / Justify me

Repeat B sect & Chorus

End Vamp
I'm in fear / Hell is near /I'm not dumb / Prozak numbs
Life is hard /I'm in flux / Why this shame? /Crying sucks
Don't evade / Let's be frank / I'm insane /And deranged
Elevate /Celebrate / Liberate me
Elevate /Celebrate / Liberate me...
