Welsh Singer Jem....Libertarian?




Before writing this off as mere “pop vocal” music, check the lyrics out along with the implications going on in the video. Personally, I dig her music, even though the melody in this song isn’t my favorite. Beware anti-popists, it might astound you that this talented gal may be culpable for a striking statement with that stunning voice. See lyrics below:

Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools.
Believe them to be true;
Don’t care to think them through/

I’m sorry, so sorry.
I’m sorry it’s like this.
I’m sorry, so sorry.
I’m sorry we do this.

And it’s ironic too…
‘Cos what we tend to do
Is act on what they say,
And then it is that way.

I’m sorry, so sorry
I’m sorry it’s like this,
I’m sorry, so sorry
I’m sorry we do this,

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they possibly
Know all this?
Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they possibly
Know all this?

Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it’s true:
That ignorance is bliss.

Who are they?
Where are they?
How do they
Know all this?
I’m sorry, so sorry.
I’m sorry it’s like this.

Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it’s true:
That ignorance is bliss.

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they
Know all this?
And I’m sorry, so sorry.
I’m sorry we do this.
