Laleh - I Know This lyrics

I cover me up, I colour me white

White as if it's over, over night

A new page

I need a new beginning

I colour me up, I colour me red

But then my mommie said

I won't waste another child

Under red lights

I cover me up, I colour me good

But we're never good enough

Who taught us to compete

Is life a competition? Oh

I know I'm 2 part many

And I change my mind daily

Many things I can't explain

But I know that this ain't the right way

I know this...

I know I'm 2 part many

I change my mind daily

I know I'm 2 part many

And I change my mind daily

I know this

I change my mind daily

But I know this

Hey, hey, maybe I should colour me gold

'Cause gold is forever gold

What if we don't go to work today

Let's see how we play

Let's see how society would work

Without all the people who go to work

Whom nobody knows of

Let's see how that goes

What if you don't go to work today

Let's see how we play

Without a teacher in the way

Without a friend to hold my hand

Without the drummer in my band

Without the power to control

The only light we can afford

I know I'm 2 part many

And I change my mind daily

I know I'm 2 part many

And I change my mind daily

I know this

I change my mind daily

But I know this

Hey, hey, good for me

And I change my mind daily

I know I'm 2 part many

And I change my mind daily

I know this

I change my mind daily

I know this

Maybe I should colour me gold

'Cause gold is forever gold

I change my mind daily

I know I'm 2 part many

I know this

And I change my mind daily

I know this
