Dancing Under The Sword

How long have you been asleep?
It seems like most of my life.
How can you criticize?
It’s not me who can’t decide
I’m not doing nine to five.
I’m just trying to get by.
Got nothing I need to keep.
Got nothing I need to hide!

I’ve got nothing I need to hide.
Got nothing I need to hide.
Got nothing I need to keep…
I’m just trying to survive!

Everything you try to say.
I’ve heard it all before.
Nothing can threaten me.
'cause I’m dancing under the sword!
It’s not your hypocrisy,
That shakes me to the core.
It’s just if you had your own way,
They’d have never cut the cord!

I’ve got nothing I need to hide.
Got nothing I need to hide.
Got nothing I need to keep…
I’m just trying to survive!

Keep that look away from me.
Keep your hands to yourself.
I’m not impressed by your snide remarks.
I’m not impressed by your wealth.
I’ve seen mountains tumble.
Get washed away by the sea.
I've seen the sure -footed stumble.
I've seen flowers become weeds.

I’ve got nothing I need to keep.
Got nothing I need to hide.
Got nothing I need to keep…
I’m just trying to survive!
Got nothing I need to keep…
