Cheap & Expendable

(We're all trying to find the guy who did this

And give him a spanking!)

My head is out of this place

And it's not coming back

Don't let them drag me away

From my heart attack

Well I've got too much to say

But the words won't come out

I try to bring myself up

But I'm filled with doubt

What is the sentence

For freeing a jailed boy?

Thirteen years of making him

A failed boy?

I'm cheap, and expendable

I'm cheap, and expendable

I'll know it when I'm fifty-two

And my life's unloveable

I'll know I'm cheap, and expendable

I'll know who I am

My breath was taken away

When thеy thought I would scream

They locked my thought in a safе

And they're throwin' the key

Well, my voice wants to be heard

But no one hears me out

I try to bring myself up

But you're bringing me down

Now is this what they call

A "higher education"?

Twenty-six, just learning

Self-advocation

I'm cheap, and expendable

I'm cheap, and expendable

I'll know it when I'm fifty-two

And my life's unloveable

I'll know I'm cheap, and expendable

I know who I am

(Inexpensive, all is shot)

(Not of value, can't be bought)

(Nine-to-five, like a robot)

(You can't remember, you forgot)

(You're trying to get through your life)

(Go through the tunnel, see the light)

But my brain's screwed up

And I feel so slow

But I'm definitely right

So I want you to know!

I'm cheap, and eck—spendable!!!

I'm cheap, and expendable!

When I'm fifty-two

And my life's unloveable

I'm cheap, and expendable

I'm not dependable

I'm not your friend at all

I know who I am
