About opting not to applaud the abuse of power, no matter how many times you get kicked.

lyrics

The Boot

I learned to hate the person I might be
How dare you think you’ve got a personality
How dare you think you’ve got the right to pull a breath
Whatever air you take, you take it from the rest

And then one day you wake and see the bitter truth
And every sacrifice you’ve made, it kicks you like a boot
Cause they’re no better off for all your blood and sweat and tears
And hours turn into days turn into months turn into years

And I won’t ever be like you
I don’t know what I’d do
I don’t know what I’d say
It’s one long holiday
When you’re the one wearing the boot

Now that I’ve quit your game you don’t know who I am
You’re not alone in that cause I just can’t explain
I’m newborn every day like hatching from a shell
But what’s inside is just an embryo from hell

And I won’t ever be like you
I don’t know what I’d do
I don’t know what I’d say
It’s one long holiday
When you’re the one wearing the boot

And I won’t ever be like you
