Momus — Shunned lyrics

Lyrics

To live apart from everyone
It isn’t hard when it must be done
I have the rain, I have the sea
I am a danger to society
If I am shunned, then I am shunned
And I have lost, and you have won
You have your system, it’s not my job
To interfere, demand you stop
And if it works, it works for you
There’s nowhere else for us to go
But I am shunned, you turn from me And I’m imprisoned, but you’re not free
And all the things I tried to change
The bullying, the calling of names
Corruption, subjugation to your military
Humiliation systematically
And I am stunned, that I am shunned
That I am lost, and they have won
I’ll read a book, I’ll watch the wall
Breathing exhaust
While exhausted sparrows fall
And when the bees have disappeared completely
What did for them will do for me And so I’m shunned, and so I die
And somebody asks why, but… no reply
