If I'm good that I will be protected
What price to pay for bad wisdom
What price to pay for bad wisdom
'Cause there's no one to hear my small story
Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine
Too young to know too much too soon, bad wisdom
Mother, my friends are no longer my friends
Too young to know too much too soon, bad wisdom
What price to pay for bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child
What price to pay for bad wisdom
I will pay for my life with my body
I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
What price to pay for bad wisdom
But he doesn't dare ask the right question
Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back
Too young to know too much too soon, bad wisdom
What price to pay for bad wisdom
And I'll never trust whoever gets elected
Bad wisdom
And it wasn't what I was expecting
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
Just like a woman who walks in the street
So they've left me to my own daydreaming
Mother, I'm cut at the root like a weed
And the games we once played have no meaning
