lyrics

(five, six, seven, eight)

Page one said seven years and I was fifteen and I signed
My mother signed under me in handwriting I still recognise
Neither of us read it, we read the number of years
(number of years)
Nobody explains a contract to a child, that is the design

I read it properly at twenty-two (twenty-two)
Took an afternoon. Understood it in about nine minutes.

Contract
(contract)
Everything that happened to me was permitted in writing
Contract
And I did permit it, technically, at fifteen

The company was not cruel. That is what nobody wants to hear.
They did exactly what the paper allowed and no more
The cruelty is upstream, in a document, in a lawyer's office
(lawyer's office)
Written by someone who has never met a fifteen year old

I have that page framed. Not ironically.
It's the most honest thing anyone gave me in seven years.
It never once pretended to be my friend.
(production slams back)

Contract
(contract)
Everything that happened to me was permitted in writing
Contract
And I did permit it, technically, at fifteen

(page one...)
