Lori Meyers used to live upstairs
Our parents had been friends for years
Almost every afternoon we´d play forbidden games
At nine years old there´s no such thing (as shame)
It wasn´t recognition of her face, what brought me back was a familiar mark
As it flashed across the screen
I bought some magazines, some video tape scenes
Incriminating acts, I felt that I could save her

"Who the hell are you to tell me how to live?
You think I sell my body; I merely sell my time.
I ain´t no Cinderella, I ain´t waiting for no prince,
To save me in fact until just now I was doing just fine.
And on and on.."

"I know what degradation feels like
I felt it on the floor at the factory
Where I worked long before, I took control now I answer to me
The 50K I make this year will go anywhere I please
Where´s the problem?"
