lyrics

I've lived one hundred lives
and none of them have treated me fine
I know what it's like to climb a mountain
even though I've never tried

I am the bees no one wants to save my life
I am the trees force surrender to the knife

and I
will build you a house if its what you want
and you
won't build me a house if it's what I need

You've said one hundred lives
if I work it'll all turn out fine
my work is discounted no matter how hard I try

My chest is weak I've got pain in my thighs
I need some sleep it's so loud at night

But I'll
still build you a house if it's what you want
and you
won't build me a house if it's what I need

yes I am young and hungry
and I don't have a say
don't mean I wanna throw my whole life down the drain

Yes we are young and hungry
and we don't have a say
don't mean we wanna throw our whole lives down the drain

Yes we are young and hungry
and you are so afraid
don't mean we're gonna throw our whole lives down the drain

We'll build our houses on your feet
oh
we'll build our houses on your feet
oh
we'll build our houses
on your feet
