[INTRO] (Tim Robinson):
We’re all trying to find the guy who did this and give him a spanking!
[VERSE 1]
My head is out of this place
And it’s not coming back
Don’t let them drag me away
From my heart attack
Well I’ve got too much to say
But the words won’t come out
I try to bring myself up
But I’m filled with doubt
[PRE Chorus 1]
What is the sentence
For freeing a jailed boy?
Thirteen years of making him
A failed boy?
[Chorus 1]
I’m cheap, and expendable
I’m cheap, and expendable
I’ll know it when I’m fifty-two
And my life’s unloveable
I’ll know I’m cheap, and expendable
I’ll know who I am
[VERSE 2]
My breath was taken away
When thеy thought I would scream
They locked my thought in a safе
And they’re throwin’ the key
Well, my voice wants to be heard
But no one hears me out
I try to bring myself up
But you’re bringing me down
[PRE Chorus 2]
Now is this what they call
A “higher education”?
Twenty-six, just learning
Self-advocation
[Chorus 2]
I’m cheap, and expendable
I’m cheap, and expendable
I’ll know it when I’m fifty-two
And my life’s unloveable
I’ll know I’m cheap, and expendable
I know who I am
[BRIDGE]
(Inexpensive, all is shot)
(Not of value can’t be bought)
(Nine-to-five like a robot)
(You can’t remember, you forgot)
(You’re trying to get through your life)
(Go through the tunnel see the light)
But my brain’s screwed up
And I feel so slow
But I’m definitely right
So I want you to know!
[Chorus 3/ENDING]
I’m cheap, and eck—spendable!!!
I’m cheap, and expendable!
When I’m fifty-two
And my life’s unloveable
I’m cheap, and expendable
I’m not dependable
I’m not your friend at all
I’ll know who I am
