The Set Up
[Intro]
Set up
Set up for the sake of a comfortable home
Too young
Too young to take control
[Verse]
Mother's little weapon for when father broke the rules
He never wanted her or me, he just wanted to be free
There's a risk and a twist
And all this from the girl you missed
By minutes on the day you were hit
[Pre-Chorus]
Set up
Every opportunity to make me like them
Set up
Born into a world where I had no control
[Chorus]
One set up leads to another
Two set up to lie to each other
One set up leads to another one
And two set up to lie...
To each other
[Verse]
And it's all been a frame
I've got to change my appearance and get rid of the name
They did it with mirrors - They did it without pain
I was set up and held up, and stuffed in a cage
Don't get up and say it was some other mother
I'm sure enough it was you that planted me
Is there anyone out there who can change this atmosphere?
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's a set up
Every opportunity to make me like them
Set up
Born into a world where I had no control
[Chorus]
One set up leads to another
Two set up to lie to each other
One set up leads to another one
And two set up to lie...
To each other
[Bridge]
They did it... with mirrors
They did it... with teachers
They did it... without pain
They couldn't think of a number and so they gave me a name
[Pre-Chorus]
Set up
Every opportunity to make me like them
Set up
Born into a world where I had no control
[Chorus]
One set up leads to another
Two set up to lie to each other
One set up leads to another one
And two set up to lie to each other
One set up leads to another one
And two set up to lie...
To each other
[Bridge]
They did it... with kindness (Set up, leads to another)
They did it... with a smile (Set up to lie to each other)
They did it all with a licence (Set up, leads to another)
[Outro]
They did it... according to the rules (Set up to lie to each other)
They did it... with good advice (Set up, leads to another)
They did it... from inside (Set up to lie to each other)
They did it... for some reason (Set up, leads to another)
They did it... Well, they tried (Set up to lie to each other)
