Livin' - Keep Shelly In Athens

When you see the

Way the boys treat her in the locker room

You wanna punch their livin' day light down

But you hold back again

And you regret again

Coz love is not a thing, that comes so easily

You hide behind the door as the boys leave

And watch her crying down on her knees

You think of sneaking out

But that is copping out

Breathe out, breath in, this should come easily

Has she heard me?

Has she seen me?

Come in?

When she turns her

Head around and sees me staring at her tattered hair

She wips her tears away and shoots me a worrid glare

«What are you doing here?

I thought you were a queer

This ain’t a place to be, hanging round with me.»

«If they come back I’ll knock them down

Or they can chase me way back home

Coz I ain’t gonna watch

Them try to bully you

No way, no way, I’m gonna protect you.»

So you take her

By the hand and lead her to the corridor

You’re gonna find the boys and even the score

Someone has gotta stop

The bloody beating up

And if it’s not you, then who’s it gonna be?

You gotta take control and nurture your own

You have friends, no you’re not alone

Respect the life you lead

For love you only bleed

Livin', livin', is your priority

Livin', no you’re not alone

Livin', to fight for your home

Livin', to holding your own

Livin'

Livin', you are in control

Livin', to nurture your soul

Livin', you are who you are

Livin'

Livin', no you’re not alone

Livin', to fight for your home

Livin', to holding your own
