SUBVERSIVE SOUL
From the day I was born
From the moment I took my first breath
There was something I felt in the air
Oh, something my soul could not accept
I could not accept the reasons
I could not accept their rules
My soul rejected things I learned in church
My soul rejected things I learned in school
CHORUS
I got a, A subversive soul
Yeah a tortured heart that I can’t control
And I’m fighting a darkness that I can’t let go
Fighting for something I can call my own
I was born into freedom
But it’s a freedom that you have to steal
You can talk about freedom
But freedoms something that you have to feel
Think you’re leaving in freedom
Maybe you should ask yourself this
Am I living the life that I want
Or am I living someone else’s wish
CHORUS
A Subversive soul – Sub, sub subversive soul (repeat)
Fighting for something, something I could, something I could, something I could, something I could, call me own (repeat)
