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>
