Velcra - My Law lyrics

I've been struggling
In a good girl straight jacket
Time has come to say that's it
If I spend my life waiting for tomorrow
I'll wake up one day and it's over
No-one's gonna come to deliver the goods
Do it yourself
Here is the clue
It takes courage to follow your heart
But as far as I'm concerned it's free of charge

So tell me
Who's stopping you, what's on your way
Other people's wishes to obey
Is your purpose to make them feel okay?
Now who's to blame
I'll stand behind every word I say
And I don't really care if you see me fail
I'll make my own miracles
With base hands I build my own paradise

This is my law
This is my system
This is my force my state my mission
This is my way
This is my vision
And the voice inside my head says

Let all the pressure out
Obey your deepest pleasures
Sacrifice the things you treasure
Life's a creation
I wanna look back at it and feel proud

My criteria
For good life doesn't originate from materia
So if you're looking for someone to call naive
You can stop searching have a look at me
I say all we need is already here
But what it means is for your own eyes to see
I'm not intimidated by threats
I'll fight for the right to decide for myself

Cause if you need a scapegoat you're sure to find one
Rock the boat or you won't get nothing done
Discard and start from scratch unafraid to leave
Or turn back
Been wrong as many times as I've been right
I've lost the faith but never gave up the fight
Consequences schmonsequences
I'll bang my head on the wall till it crumbles
