We may be willing to take a certain amount of abuse for a pay check but there is one type of abuse which hurts more than most - being ignore or taken for granted.
Lyrics
It’s with pain in my heart that I go to the start
to the place where it all began
I feel locked in a vault with a hand at my throat
and a knife stuck in my back
I wish there were words to describe what I’ve heard,
it’s a scream inside my brain
And it tells me to run like a round from a gun
but I’m stuck in the place I stand
You watch your back They attack you from sideways
You try your best But they have the advantage
You play by their rules They expect you to reason
They have their fun And you are the toy they use
I can tell you’ve been there and you know what I mean
when I say that I don’t believe
In the rules that they make when they force you to wait
for the things you’re entitled to
There are times when you need and there are times when you bleed but it don’t mean crap to them
You lose if you fight and you lose all your rights
if you stay in the hole you’re in
No one’s taking me for granted
I am giving up
It’s my time to draw the line with you
No more lies I take control from you
You’ve been taking me for granted
I’d rather leave this earth
I’m no one’s fool
And no one’s toy
I’ve been this way since birth
They pull from the left and the pull from the right
And there’s always that glass ceiling
You can give in or stand your ground
It’s your choice to make
Just watch your back They attack you from sideways
You try your best But they have the advantage
You play by their rules They expect you to reason
They have their fun And you are the toy they use
It’s my time to draw the line with you
No more lies I took control from you
I can tell you’ve been there and you know what I mean
when I say that I don’t believe
In the rules that they make when they force you to wait
for the things you’re entitled to
You watch your back They attack you from sideways
You try your best But they have the advantage
You play by their rules They expect you to reason
They have their fun And you are the toy they use
You’re not taking me for granted
I’d rather leave this earth
I’m no one’s fool
And no one’s toy
I’ve been this way since birth
