lyrics

Can’t you see you’re a lucky girl ?
You look at all the ‘haves’ and think you’re a ‘have not’
Blind to the beauty in this life
Cause you only listen to people who prove you to be right
Chorus— In your eyes, it’s either in the red or it’s in the black
You’ve been hypnotised by the petty cash
You say that you don’t like them because of their privilege
You were born to suffer
You were born to live on the razor’s edge
I’ve lived under that knife too long and nobody cuts you free
The only reason the grass looks greener is your jealousy
Chorus—
Bridge— If I saw things your way
All I value could get washed away
I’d be left clinging, to all the dues I feel I’ve got to pay and pay and pay and pay and pay
It feels like they’re rubbing your face into everything you lack
Lapping up their liberty like domesticated cats
Rough little tongues get into every single crack
Keeping it clean and making it seem like paradise
Chorus -
