Lyric Lori Meyers
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 are you to tell me how to live my life?
You think I sell my body; I merely sell my time.
I ain t no Cinderella, I ain t waitin for no prince
To save me in fact until just now I was doin 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
With 50K I ll make this year will go anywhere I please
Where s the problem?"
