Suzanne Vega

Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
Cause my body has strange information
Hes looked in my eyes and knows Im not a child
But he doesnt dare ask the right question
Mother my friends are no longer my friends
And the games we once played have no meaning
Ive gone serious and shy and they cant figure why
So theyve left me to my own daydreaming
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
Mother youve taught me the laws are so fine
If Im good that I will be protected
Ive fallen through the crack and theres no getting back
And Ill never trust whoever gets elected
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
And it wasnt what I was expecting
