Lyrics
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
Mummy and daddy controlled me until I grasped
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
My independence, realizing my autonomy.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
They filled my mind with deceitful information.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
I didn't require their love or family bonds.
Little children shouldn't speak until they're spoken to,
Children are silenced until spoken to,
They're just another showpiece to show the neighbours who
Seen as displays for societal comparison.
Can produce the perfect babe with everything in place,
Producing the perfect child is a status symbol.
But god help you if you come out without an angel face.
Avoid condemnation if you lack an angelic face.
If you haven't got the looks that prove how nice you are,
Looks are essential to prove your worth.
You'll have failed your duty and that's all you fucking are,
Failure to meet societal expectations diminishes you.
You're just a status symbol that they need to have in life,
You're just a symbol they need for a perfect life.
Just the proof they need to be the perfect man and wife.
Evidence for them to be the ideal couple.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
Mummy and daddy controlled me until I grasped
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
My independence, realizing my autonomy.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
They filled my mind with deceitful information.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
I didn't require their love or family bonds.
Like a fucking dustbin they fill you up with trash,
They fill you with meaningless information,
And tell you all that life is, is working for some cash,
Defining life solely as earning money.
Life's a competition and you've got to be the best,
Life is a competition, where being the best is crucial.
So tread on everybody else, forget about the rest.
Step on others, ignore the rest.
They tell you to be grateful for what they've done to you,
Gratitude expected for the conditions they imposed.
Like tell you the conditions and pump it into you,
They dictate your life's terms, instilling them in you.
That you really mustn't fail them 'cause you owe them a debt,
You must not fail them; you owe them a debt.
'cause they're the ones that made you and they won't let you forget.
They remind you of their role in your creation.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
Mummy and daddy controlled me until I grasped
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
My independence, realizing my autonomy.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
They filled my mind with deceitful information.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties.
I didn't require their love or family bonds.
You're not a human in their eyes, you're a novelty.
In their eyes, you're not human but a novelty.
They don't want you thinking, you'll break the fantasy,
Independent thinking disrupts their fantasy.
The fantasy that you're the toy providing endless fun,
You're a toy providing endless amusement.
You're not a human being, you're their daughter or their son.
Not seen as an individual but as their child.
You bring them lots of happiness when you're very small,
You bring joy when small, but lose significance with age.
But when you lose those darling looks no-one cares to call,
When looks fade, they no longer care.
'cause you're no more the cuddly toy for them to hug and hold,
No longer a cuddly toy but a fading memory.
You're not an individual and they're just getting old.
You lose individuality; they age.
Mummy and daddy owned me till I could understand
Mummy and daddy controlled me until I grasped
That at the end of my arm was my own fucking hand.
My independence, realizing my autonomy.
In my head I had a brain that they filled up with lies,
They filled my mind with deceitful information.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't require their love or family bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't need their love or family bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't need their love or bloody bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
-I didn't fucking need them with their love and family ties,
I didn't need their love or family bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't need their love or bloody bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody lies,
I didn't need their love or bloody lies.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody ties,
I didn't need their love or bloody bonds.
I didn't fucking need them with their love and bloody lies.
I didn't need their love or bloody lies.
