Slave - Intellectual

[Chorus]

Everybody keeps trying to break my heart

Everybody except for me

I just want a chance to play the part

The part of someone truly free

Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel

Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul

My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel

And judging me accordingly, I know, I know

Everybody keeps trying to break my heart

Everybody except for me

I just want a chance to play the part

The part of someone truly free

Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did

Merrily down three heartbreak boulevards

Like fashion statements, they lie "you be lookin' so good tonight, kid"

I do my best to party, it's just that everybody keeps trying to break my heart

Everybody keeps trying to break my heart

Everybody except for me

I just want a chance to play the part

The part of someone truly free

Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis?

How'd they keep me under for so long?

Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest

I need their kind to illustrate what's wrong - what's wrong?

Well, I'll tell you they just keep trying to break my heart

They just keep trying to break my heart, ow!

(Everybody)

Everybody keeps trying to break my heart

Everybody except for me

I just want a chance to play the part

The part of someone truly free

But I can't let you break my heart

(Everybody keeps trying to break my heart)

Slave! (Everybody keeps trying to break my heart)

Slave! Slave! (Everybody keeps trying to break my heart)

Slave!
