Expectations Lyrics by Lost in Grey

The Waste Land

0

Odessa:
Indeed, it's unfair
The way we are chained to what is expected from us
Maria:
Either deprived from our lust or not giving enough
Oh those fools
Lillian:
"The fact that we are human beings is infinitely more important than all the peculiarities that distinguish human beings from one another."
Maria & Odessa:
Why is it so that we can't be ourselves in here?
Remember to smile and nod
Sit and stay and try to please - "Good girl"
The key, the one wе are thinking of...
Why is it so that we can't be oursеlves in here?
Remember to smile and nod
Thinking of that key, and each confirming...
We are making the prison real
Maria:
Often labelled, told what to do
Expectations forced upon you
Play according to someone else's rules on their tune
Odessa & Maria:
Either friend or foe in a duel
Maybe saint, perhaps a sinner too
Nymph washed up ashore
Or simply a Madonna or a whore
Odessa, Maria & Choir:
We are what we choose to be
Or what we were assigned to be
Eventually what we agree
We are what we choose to be
We're neither nor Madonna or whore
Your room decor, yet always excluded from your party
Lillian & Choir:
Anything but free
It is dangerous
Indeed, if we try to make it independently
Alternatively
Running out from there, do you see?
Out there, without fear as ourselves, simply as "me"
