lyrics

I’m just walking around with something valid to say
But I don’t make a sound cause no one’s talking today
I just do what I’m told cause I’m so afraid
To be the one who lives life in a different way

So I just move along like a machine
Plugged into computers and television screens
I’m a puppet hanging from my little strings
Doing what I’m told to do, thinking how I’m told to think

I’m losing my mind and I’m losing my soul
Cause I’m so paralyzed by the life that I know
But the future relies on the way that I grow
So it’s time to stand up and let this world know
I’m gonna make a change, I’m gonna stand up on my feet
I’m not gonna go away, no not that easily
I’m gonna say the things others don’t wanna say
I’m gonna dance and sing and I’m gonna do it my way

They tell me I can choose the left or choose the right
But there’s no in-between, no it’s just black and white
But I can choose the side on which I’d like to fight
Making me believe I’m making choices in this life

But who’s to say I want either or
When I pay attention and when I ignore
I don’t make my own decisions anymore
No, the programmers have already decided exactly what I’m good for

I’m losing my mind and I’m losing my soul
Cause I’m so paralyzed by the life that I know
But the future relies on the way that I grow
So it’s time to stand up and let this world know
I’m gonna make a change, I’m gonna stand up on my feet
I’m not gonna go away, no not that easily
I’m gonna say the things others don’t wanna say
I’m gonna dance and sing and I’m gonna do it my way

about

Gracie and Rachel New York

Gracie and Rachel press back on the boundaries of pop music, their catalog marked by hauntingly spare arrangements, bold, baroque flourishes, evanescent vocal stylings, and penetrative lyrical tact, drawing wide-ranging acclaim from tastemakers. They’ve performed for NPR’s Tiny Desk and shared stages with the likes of Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, and most recently, Jesca Hoop. ... more
