​pump the brakes Lyrics by ​rain (UK)

​nur ein (demos)

2019

[Verse 1]
I hate you for what you've said
While you hate me for who I am
I can't change my gender
Like you assholes say I can
And when you write your articles
I wonder if you mean it
You have to know we're suffering
But caring is inconvenient
[Chorus]
'Cause I know people who have died
Well before their time
And I'm only twenty-three
So I don't think that that is fine
So will you give a shit
Or tell us that we shouldn’t swear
Like hearing us say rude words
Is anything like what we have to bear
[Verse 2]
The way some of us get comfortable
You call it "mutilation"
But I don’t know where I would be
If not for simple medication
I hate you for who you are
Yeah, I think it's in your guts
That you'd rather have blood on your hands
Than have us kick up a fuss
[Chorus]
'Cause I know people who have died
Well before their time
And I'm only twenty-three
And I don't think that that is right
So will you give a shit
Or tell me that I should pump the brakes
Like me yelling for change
Is worse than anything we have to take
[Bridge]
I want you to feel guilty
I want you to feel blame
I want you to wake up tomorrow
Overcome with shame
I want you to get nauseous
When somebody says your name
For every inch of hurt you cause
I want you to feel the same
I want you to start crying
I want you to hate yourself
I'm not saying that you killed someone
But you didn't fucking help
I want you to break all your limbs
So you know how pain felt
And in your darkest days
I hope you have nobody left
[Outro]
'Cause I know people who have died
Well before their time
And I'm only twenty-three
So I don't think that that is fine
