They laugh at me, I'm all alone They question me in jagged tones They try to tell me what's true And what's not true As if they knew, as if they knew They tell me how to feel They tell me what I'm worth They tell me how I've failed All in their own words They tell me how to love and how to get along Passion's all right as long as it's not too strong Here's how you play the game Here's how you play your part Here's how you go along Here's how to neglect your heart Fixed life Like the stars Never moving, never far
