[verse 1]

Watch how you speak

The kids are in the living room watching tv

Let them have dreams

Let them be someone

In the light for 15

Tell me whats so wrong

Why do we breathe

If we can't run free

I am the animal

I am the sea

And you can say you believe me

And I can see in you

I can see doubt dripping out your mouth

Filling up the room


[Chorus]

Where did we go wrong?

I'll put this world to shame

The blood on my hands

Is well deserved

I'll take the blame

Rot on the inside

Melting the gold

Why do we hate when all the weirdos break the mould

All plastic statues didn't want to stay here

Didn't want to miss

Didn't want to take that risk

Oh oh oh oh

All plastic statues usually broken

Why do you care

All about the things I wear


[verse 2]

And yeah I could be somebody

So why would I care what you say?

We should let the girls like girls and the boys be gay

So how about you hang me from a tree

And then we'll see what I'll be

A middle class, white boy dies for nothing

How many more things go unseen


[Chorus]

Where did we go wrong?

I'll put this world to shame

The blood on my hands

Is well deserved

I'll take the blame

Rot on the inside

Melting the gold

Why do we hate when all the weirdos break the mould

All plastic statues didn't want to stay here

Didn't want to miss

Didn't want to take that risk

Oh oh oh oh

All plastic statues usually broken

Why do you care

All about the things I wear


[verse 3]

Maybe you would listen if I told you again

Maybe you would give one if it happened to your friend

Oh oh oh oh

All plastic statues didn't want to stay here

Didn't want to miss

Didn't want to take that risk

Oh oh oh oh

All plastic statues usually broken

Why do you care

All about the things I wear

All about the

All about the things I wear

All about the
