lyrics

She did what they told her
Good grades in their schools
Did well for employers
And followed the rules
But what now?
The “love of her life”?
An insufferable ass!
And holiness left her
So she cries and she asks
“So what now?”

She scrolls through the pictures
Of grins ear-to-ear
There’s no war worth fighting
In her hemisphere
Her world is so peaceful
Her eyes fill with tears
She’s hundreds of “friends”
But none of them dear.

Her parents are worried
She’s never around
And when she comes over
She’s wearing a frown
“Why so down?”
She drives herself home
But her vision is blurry
She looks in the mirror
And cries in a fury:
“What now?”

She just can’t explain
That the stories they told her—
The books and the movies
All said when she’s older
The world would be hers
Oh, the lies that they sold her!
Now that she’s arrived
She’s never felt colder

No reason for sorrow
'Cause nothing’s the matter
She takes medication
But doesn’t get better
She wrote all her thoughts
In a suicide letter
But she can’t bear to do it
Her family’d be shattered

So what now?
