Dangerous Words

from Kindly Eyes by Kindly Eyes

/

lyrics

You have a right to be loved
You have a right to our time
You have a right to be heard
A right to full understanding

You close your eyes
And dream of beautiful girls
Who see the hero inside you
And be your princess at last

But they utter dangerous words
Such a fatal rejection
And with an ego so fragile
It was inevitable
And it's no wonder that you snapped
We all know they deserved it
It was a terrible crime
And the punishment worth it


And you're the victim in all this
(You're sick of living in cells)
We force your hand with our blindness
(You're sick of living in cells)
And so you had to take action
(You're sick of living in…)
It's just matter of time

You have a right to be loved
You have a right to our bodies
You have a right to be touched
A right to full satisfaction

But you're locked in your cage
Feed on the hate of your cell mates
Involuntarily shackled
And persecuted by us

By the girls who never look your way
You feel the hatred burning within
You vow that one day they will pay
You scream that nice guys never win

We act like we're the ones who suffer
We cry that we just don't feel safe
You shout that not all men are monsters
And put us in our place

Because you're the victim in all this
(You're sick of living in cells)
We force your hand with our blindness
(You're sick of living in cells)
And so you had to take action
(You're sick of living in…)
It's just matter of time

And you're scared that we might laugh at you
And we won't do the things you want us to
And you're terrified we'll walk away
Or of dismissive things that we might say
and you're furious that we just can't see
So you take that anger out on me
Til it's a little bit too dangerous to say
'NO!'
