Testo Suck It Up, Buttercup - Amanda Palmer
Testo della canzone Suck It Up, Buttercup (Amanda Palmer), tratta dall'album Amanda Palmer & Friends Present Forty-Five Degrees: Bushfire Charity Flash Record
Walking through the woods I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I knew the sign was meant for girls like me who couldn't read
A man with a girl by the throat
A bottle of Dettol, a bottle of rum, and a painting of smoke
Coming off of a sad ass roof
It looked just like a house I knew
Walking down the street I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I knew the sign was made for girls like me who couldn't read
The rain came down, I shut my eyes, I opened them again
I tried real hard to make some sense of what the pictures meant
A man hanging down from a tree
A man that looked something like me
A bottle of Dettol, a bottle of pills, and a painting of smoke
Coming out of a house on fire
It looked just like my neighbor's house
C is for civilized, now we will make you
B is for baptism, now we will name you
And P is for petticoat, pretty and fitting
Now here is the paper that says you were willing
Old prescriptions left in bottles
You don't give that to a child
Human chains that stretch for miles
You don't give that to a child
Time is up
Suck it up
Buttercup
Walking to the bar I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I knew the sign was meant for girls like me who couldn't read
I tried my best to understand but still I feel I've failed
I even tried to kill myself, I even did my nails
A woman tied up to the back of a truck
A man in a uniform, a man with his pants down, and a man with a gun
A bottle of Dettol and a painting of smoke
Coming off of the Tasman Strait
It looked just like the maps from school
D is for Devil and also for daughter
T is for truth and S is for slaughter
And R is for rapist and F is for father
It's time for the test, here's your pencil and paper
And B is for brother who hid in the bedroom
And F is for friend who stood by and did nothing
And Q is for quarrelsome crass little girl
And E is for end of the world
Old prescriptions left in bottles
You don't give that to a child
Human chains that stretch for miles
You don't give that to a child
Time is up
Suck it up
Buttercup
Walking through the woods
I saw a sign nailed to a tree
I saw the picture of the girl
I knew the girl was me
I'm sorry that you had to waste your time on everyone
I'm sorry that I'm still alive
I'm sorry I'm so dumb
And I saw the sign catch fire
I saw the tree catch fire
I saw the woods catch fire
I saw the world catch fire
And then I saw my mother walking out of the embers
She said
"No more treason, no more hangings
No more words and no more learning
No more fighting, no more fire
Go to sleep now, Mama's tired
No more treason, no more hangings
No more words and no more learning
No more fighting, no more fires
Go to sleep now, Mama's tired
Go to sleep now, Mama's tired
Go to sleep now, Mama's tired
Go to sleep now, Mama's tired"
