All that evil ignorance needs to flourish is for good slightly awakened people to do nothing*

I can't see
How did this happen to me?
Was it a car accident Gary?
I can't remember a thing

I do remember my parents fighting all the time
Both trying to be perfect people
I do remember being told God would fix everything
His son died on the cross for us you know

I do remember my beautiful son Carl
Had an amazing brain
And played the drums
But threw himself under a train
Why did that happen?

I do remember my two beautiful daughters
Who were taken from me as children
When my friend dobbed me in
Did I do anything bad to them?
Why did that happen?

I do remember my brother being murdered
By his best mate
Who was jealous of Ray
And then from the other world a miracle! 
Ray told me he was ok

So I gave mum the good news
And my mum called the CAT team
And they locked me up and threw away the key
Why did that happen?

I do remember being stripped naked by people in white coats
And injected with drugs that made me very sick
Like I couldn't think
Or walk properly
Or breathe without gasping for air
Why did that happen?

I do remember my mum gassing herself to death
When the doctors stopped her painkillers
But that only made things worse  
Chemical poisoning at work
Stuffed her whole body
Why did that happen?

All I ever wanted was to have a happy family
Was that too much to expect?
And save the world too
Don't you?
Maybe I bit off more than I can chew

Is anyone listening to me?
I don't know who I am
Can anyone give me a clue?
Why any of this happened?

Oh fuck, I just remembered
God, you promised to give me my eyes back
If I had the guts to stab them out
To save the world
I did it!

Please give them back to me now
Just a little sight will be fine
I'll be a good girl too
If you do

   Is anyone listening to me?
Is there a God up there?
Does anyone care?
Or is everyone too busy
For people like me

They told me I'm crazy you know
It's in a manual somewhere
Because I talk queer
Sorry, it's ok
        I won't bother you anymore
