lyrics

Snuffing out a cigarette like it was a fresh life
Thinking up a fear so real it could turn your hair white
Like it was your last chance
Like it was a tap dance
Like it was a purpose
Like it was worth it

I could leave an apple lodged into your back
I could be the sibling who leaves you milk and bread
Radical change

I don't have the best perspective, it was just my first time
I do the things I'm told and if I'm given an order then it's fine
Like it was a pay day
Like I wasn't afraid
Like I made a judgement
Like it was worth it

It's my first week on the job, I'll just hang back
But I could just as well have done something about that
If you had any heart you would try to see my side
I could join the crowd for photos just one time
Then spray the mace
Radical change

I could shove you through when you're stuck in the doorway
Or I could be the family, shameful and ashamed
