The Defecting Song


How am I supposed to feel?
I never ever want to cry
Emotions I conceal
Smiling as the days are rolling by
How am I supposed to feel?
I never could work that one out
It’s not that big a deal
But sometimes I just want to scream and shout

I’m defecting from the race
Because I don’t belong in this place
I cannot breathe or hear myself think
(repeat)

How am I supposed to care?
It’s getting harder every day
But no one is aware
Because I never ever want to say
How am I supposed to care?
When that art-form is so maligned
And do you solemnly swear
To try your very best to be kind

I’m defecting from the race
Because I don’t belong in this place
I cannot breathe or hear myself think,
I’m defecting – yes I am!
It’s clear that no one understands
Or cannot see the forest for the trees

I’m defecting from the race
Because I don’t belong in this place
I cannot breathe or hear myself think,
I’m defecting – yes I am!
I’m not part of your masterplan
I’m peripheral and ultimately free
Ultimately free!
