I have been locked up since we are married
I guess that I understood love in a more traditional way
But today, I dare no longer say a thing
for fear of being punished
[ Have we run out of beer ? ]
Without me being able to do or say a thing
[ You could have bought some! ]
I already know that you're going
to raise a hand against me
I am at the edge, I can't cope with this any longer,
I want to kill myself
But I don't think that it isn't me who should leave
[ What are we having for dinner ? ]
Because I want to live...
You are becoming more and more
menacing with every day that goes by
[Hey Kids!]
Every single day becomes harder
since we've had our children
[ Turn that music down ! ]
You pressure us to make us all tremble in fear.
It's not my fault your life didn't turn out
the way you'd expected it to be
[ Did you not hear what I said ? ]
But this doesn't give you the right to hit,
rape, and humiliate me
[ What's happening ? ] [ Don't you worry about it ]
You're but a loser, you don't have the balls,
not an ounce of courage in your veins [ Go to bed! ]
[ But leave them alone ! ]
And so I'm going to fight
and say that you're but a terrorist
And I will take my chances
also having to convince the law
Because I have a right to live
[ When you're done making yourself pretty, bring me a beer ! ]
yes I have a right to live
[ There's no point in making yourself pretty ! ]
[ And besides, who are you putting makeup on for? ]
Yes, I have a right to live just like everyone else
[ Would it kill you to answer me ? ]
Without bruises, fractures, or other contusions
There is no love lost between us any more,
only a moribund life
[ Oh, you'll end up understanding ! ]
Only fear and the dreading of wounds remain
I would like to break the silence and defend myself
But the law doesn't want to hear of it
And if you think that you own me
it's because the world hasn't evolved
That's why I'm going to act before I lose my dignity
Because I want to live
[ I promise, I won't do this again ! ]
[ As per usual ! ]
[ Yes, but you do everything to piss me off ! ]
[ It's no longer possible ! I have to leave you ! ]
[ Have you thought about the children ? ]
[ If you leave me, I'll kill you ! ]
[ And go up now, off to bed! ]
[ No, not tonight ! I am tired! ]
[ Could you explain to me how you could possibly be tired ? ]
I have been locked up since we've met
[ You're just hanging around the house all day, not doing anything ! ]
But today is the day that I've decided
to ask for help in order to get out of this
So I can tell all that there is to say
that you are the weakling that is making up a story
and that I have decided to leave this purgatory
And so I will rebuild myself
and make sure that you will never be able
to destroy me again
Because I want to live
And from now on I am going to live my life
