Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?  Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?  Oh yes, that is yours and this is mine  As long as the balance is out, that's fine  I don't define the terms of the oppression  Do you awake to that dull and grey depression?  You ride on me  Suck my energy  You take what you want when you want it  You reject any change that I make  You ask me for more when I've spent it  When I've given it all, you still take  Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?  Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?  Oh yes I know the lines you draw are for protection  The number given for a name is simply for detection  I know I'm only paper in a file  But couldn't you treat me as a human for a while?  You ride on me  Suck my energy  You take what you want when you want it  You reject any change that I make  You ask me for more when I've spent it  When I've given it all, you still take  Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?  Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?  You offer your protection, but insist when I decline  You offer independence, but demand I tow the line  You say you give me freedom, but you hang on to the key  Well don't you think, perhaps, the decision's up to me?  You ride on me  Suck my energy  You take what you want when you want it  You reject any change that I make  You ask me for more when I've spent it  When I've given it all, you still take  Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?  Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?  So tell me I'm dreaming if I want to live  And I'll tell you you're just scheming to make me give  More than I want to, more than I can  You don't want person, you just want woman  You hide behind logic, secure with your facts  You've a history of time to back up your claims  Protecting the future by filling up the cracks  The might expose the real nature of your games  You want woman cos she's children for your system  Well people wither in that living death  You hide behind your prejudice, afraid of my wisdom  Afraid I might question your unquestioned worth  You ride on me  Suck my energy  You take what you want when you want it  You reject any change that I make  You ask me for more when I've spent it  When I've given it all, you still take  Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?  Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?  Used as a tool? Treated like a fool?  Shat on? Spat on?  Totally confused?  Fucked up? Mucked up?  Totally abused?  Pulled about? Fooled about?  Treated like a toy?  Joked about? Poked about?  Something to destroy?  Tricked? Kicked?  I don't want these games.
