Self-Control
And they tell me
It's gonna be alright
but who are they to assure me?
I mean it's never been their fight
And for all these years I
listened to their tales
on how to be brave
and behave like 'a good kid'.
But I've grown since then and
now I understand
they pushed the buttons
to make me move
the most convenient way
for themselves.
