Society wants to throw us away.
“You do not matter”, that’s what they say.
If you ask for some help to get by.
Everyone questions: “What?”…”But why?”.
Society wants to throw us away.
“You are a burden”, that’s what they say.
If you can not hold down a job,
“You are a terrible, lazy, fat-slob!”.
Society wants to throw us away,
“You are worth nothing”, that’s what they say.
Well, you know what? Who cares what they say!
Why should their words matter anyway?
Were they there when you cried on your bed.
Would they care at all if you lost your head?
If you said you couldn’t live anymore,
Would any of them come to your door?
Society wants to throw us away.
“You do not matter”, that’s what they say.
Well, guess what? Who cares what they say!
Whose life is this anyway?
No, not theirs…today’s your day!
“Your life matters!”,…
That’s what I say!
