Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
Cause my body has strange information

He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child
But he doesn't dare ask the right question

Mother my friends are no longer my friends
And the games we once played have no meaning

I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why
So they've 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 you've taught me the laws are so fine
If I'm good that I will be protected

I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back
And I'll never trust whoever gets elected

Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
And it wasn't what I was expecting

Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
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 I'm cut at the root like a weed
Cause there's no one to hear my small story

Just like a woman who walks in the street
I will pay for my life with my body
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
