lyrics

and daddy, they loved me too much
they raised me to praise me
spoilt that little brat
oh my, oh my oh my
Well mummy and daddy, they just didn’t care
they did let me live
I’ll have to be fair
Well thanks for that!
But in the end I turned out fucked up
I don’t know why, but I turned out fucked up

So society taught me things I didn’t know
that I was a girl, that I wasn’t a boy
that I was a child, so I didn’t count
and that I had to be quiet
when I wanted to shout, but
I never learnt how this karma thing works
how much do I give to get what I want?
and the other day I broke a glass
I heard it brings luck
cause that’s bad luck in bad luck and that makes it a plus
but in the end I turned out fucked up
after all of this I turned out fucked up

They did their best to make me frown
they did their best to let me down
and later on I found out that they were trying to help
indeed, they thought that they were being a help, but
I guess I will have to forgive
cause I know that I would do the same
after all I was made to be insane
and I guess that’s why I’m so fucked up
I guess that’s why I’m so fucked up

And now that I’m a so-called grown-up
I’ve forgotten how much I used to hate my own kind
believe me, I could not be less in shock
what have they done to my body and my mind?
what have they done to my body and my mind?
And I’m too fucked up not to fuck it up
I’m too fucked up not to fuck it up
and we’re too many people and all fucked up
too many people and all fucked up

Oh, we’re all, we’re all fucked up!
Oh, we’re all, we’re all fucked up!
And all together now!
We’re all, we’re all fucked up! Yeah, all together!
We’re all, we’re all fucked up! Hey!
…. This is so unfair ….
Why am I so fucked up…

about

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician.
