Bad Wisdom — текст песни (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

Once I did think that Id find comfort there

And instead youve 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 Im cut at the root like a weed

Cause theres 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
