Oceans

When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile
When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile

I am not what's on my resume

Don't want a shortcut so if you wanna know
Who I am, take your time
Because my story goes way back
It hasn't been glitter and gold all my life
Hasn't been easy but don't worry
I'm not about to rant, on the contrary
I'm proud of my history
It made me who I am now

I've learned my lessons hard
Should never be careless or off guard
But only with the storm I can form a thick skin
Where nothing can get in
Not even those eyes
Try to hypnotize me into sin

Ah, when things get rough
I give myself some love
Some love

When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile

Ooh, it's been a long time
I left my home but it never left me
I'm still deep down a Javanese woman
Who's always smiling

But people get jealous and unkind
They talk behind my back to put me down
Well, I really don't know what has gotten into their minds
Must be something I have that they want
To have the freedom to be who I am
There is no prison in my heart and my mind
I don't ever want to be like a bird that's been born in a cage
And thinks that flying is an outrage
Can't talk to people like that
Their bullets always fall flat

At my feet

With the sound of defeat

When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile

All the words that I'm meant to bruise, yeah
All the fools who think they can win
But I'm too strong to lose
Train your mind to turn out their fire
Don't ever let anyone take over your power

When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile

When oceans of words bring you down
Waves of hate try to make you drown
Pull yourself up, your head up high
Hit them with laughter, kill them with a smile
