(Renata Youngblood)

R. Youngblood, P. Pickslay
Maybe, now, I was young
Maybe I spent too many years misbehavin'
Tell me something I don't already know
Maybe, now, I was foolish
Maybe I said too many things a bit too loud
But, what they do outside those suits; it don't make us proud, no.
Chorus:
Dragonfly, who do you think you're foolin'?
Who do you think you're savin'?
It can't be I
It can't be I and I
Call it now oppression
Call it now original sin
It doesn't make a damn bit of difference darlin' when the masses never win
Fears like ghosts surround their dreams
Of the youth that's robbed; the silent screams
They're not at all what they seem no... no
Chorus
They got a little up top and a chain below
Years worth of roots with a pitch, black soul
With a promise for the future 'cause they screwed up the past
Hypocrisy, hidden by the mast
Chorus
