Текст Black Box Recorder — Child Psychology

I stopped talking when I was six years
old
I didn’t want anything more to Do with
the outside world
I was happy being quiet
But, of course, they wouldn’t leave me
alone
My parents tried every trick in the
book
From speech therapists to child
psychologists
They even tried bribery
I could have anything
As long as I said it out loud

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it

Of course this episode didn’t last
forever
I’d made my point and it was time to
move on
To peel away the next layer of deceit
And see what new surprises lay in store
My school report said I showed no
interest
«A disruptive influence»
I felt sorry for them in a way
And when they finally expelled me
It didn’t mean a thing

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it

At that time she stopped what she was
doing, she stopped playing
She stared, she had the facial
grimacing
And then the psychiatrist was saying
«Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can you
open your eyes?»
«Can you stick out your tongue?»
And all of a sudden, Julie struck out

The November day I came home

The Christmas decorations were already
up
Spray on snow, colored flashing lights
And an artificial tree that played
Silent Night
Over and over again
My parents welcomed me with loving arms
But within an hour were back at each
others throats
Normal, happy childhood back on course
Batteries not included

Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get
over it
