SHE'S LEAVING HOME

She's finally leaving home

Where she spent all her years alone

She tells her parents goodbye

And her mother just sits and cries

"Why can't you just obey?

How can you treat us this way?

How can you be so bad

When we gave you all that we had?

"We always made your decisions

To protect your inhibitions

We told you who you could see

And watched you constantly

"We sealed you in our protection

We made your every selection

It didn't make any sense

To bear your own consequence

"We kept you safe and free

From responsibility

We controlled your life for you

So you wouldn't have to

"So I can't understand why

You could ever tell us goodbye

To throw all that we've done away

How could you treat us this way?"
