Look at them, with their fake smiles shaking hands Playing with our lives as if we were puppets I don't wanna be their toy but I can't seem to say anything Say anything... I'm just a woman under a veil I'm just a fish out of the water A bird in a cage A headless lion A man adrift, a man adrift A man adrift... can't seem to say anything Trying to find my way, there's always someone who makes me stumble Could there be compassion in their eyes? I've never seen compassion in their eyes I'm just a woman under a veil I'm just a fish out of the water A bird in a cage A headless lion A man adrift, a man adrift A man adrift... can't seem to say anything You can shut our voices but you can't shut the scream You can kill our voices but you can't kill the dream Don't wanna go back, there's nobody waiting for me there Don't wanna go back, there's nobody waiting for me there
