Suzanne Vega - Bad Wisdom

Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
Cause my body has strange information
He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child

But he doesn't dare ask the right question
Mother my friends are no longer my friends
I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why
And the games we once played have no meaning
So they've left me to my own daydreaming

For bad wisdom
What price to pay
Too young to know
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too much too soon

Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine
If I'm good that I will be protected
And I'll never trust whoever gets elected
I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back

And it wasn't what I was expecting
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
What price to pay

For bad wisdom
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
Too young to know
Bad wisdom
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom

Mother I'm cut at the root like a weed
Cause there's no one to hear my small story
Just like a woman who walks in the street

I will pay for my life with my body
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
What price to pay
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
