Watching everything I do

GG

Watching everything I do
Why can’t I fly away
Sleep in some church
Wait for a lighter day
Out of control
Spinning like a top
Leave me in peace.
Make the judging, weighing stop
I’m not an animal, a pig
Don’t put me on a scale
Why don’t I do anything right
Disappointment every time I fail
Sometimes I want to bail
Take a hammer and a nail
Bang bang bang
