Our Little Corner of the World movie - Child Psychology lyrics

rate me

Song by Black Box Recorder<br /><br>

I stopped talking when I was six years old <br>

I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world <br>

I was happy being quiet <br>

But of course they wouldn't leave me alone <br>

My parents tried every trick in the book <br>

From speech therapists to child psychologists <br>

They even tried bribery <br>

I could have anything, as long as I said it out loud <br>

<br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

<br>

Of course this episode didn't last forever <br>

I'd made my point and it was time to move on <br>

To peel away the next layer of deceit <br>

And see what new surprises lay in store <br>

My school report said I showed no interest <br>

'A disruptive influence' I felt sorry for them in a way <br>

And when they finally expelled me <br>

It didn't mean a thing <br>

<br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

<br>

("At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing... <br>

she stared, she had the facial grimicing... <br>

and then the psychiatrist was saying, "Julie, Julie, can you hear me? <br>

Can you open your eyes? Can you stick out your tongue?" <br>

And all of a sudden, Julie struck out") <br>

<br>

The November when I came home the Christmas decorations were already up <br>

Spray on snow, coloured flashing lights <br>

And an artificial tree that played Silent Night <br>

Over and over again <br>

My parents welcomed me with loving arms <br>

But within an hour were back at each others throats <br>

Normal, happy childhood back on course <br>

Batteries not included <br>

<br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it <br>

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it<br>

<br>
