Medea (Live) Lyrics

I heard about a woman from the poet Euripedes

weakened by her anger, she's a wasp among the bees

Maybe it felt good to have her finger on a gun

How could it feel good to murder both your sons?

Oh Medea, oh oh Medea, how far would you go?

Say no Medea, oh no Medea, I don't wanna know

If you killed your kids and your husband's wife

Would you slice a goldfish with a butter knife?

Oh Medea, oh why Medea, are you riddled with strife?

When Jason came to ask her of his tiny whiny bride

he found her levitating above his sunken child

Eyes aglow with satisfaction as she gets to watch him grieve

our story ends in suffering for the traitor and the thief

Oh Medea, oh oh Medea, how far would you go?

Say no Medea, oh no Medea, I don't wanna know

If you killed your kids and your husband's wife

Would you stab a soldier with his favorite fife?

Oh Medea, Oh how Medea, does this make you free?

Oh Medea, dear me Medea, what if I see you in me?

Hatred here could wreck the chance

Sour the pearl that somehow came from a clam

Oh Medea, am I Medea? I worry that I am

Abraham was ready to kill

Little Isaac high on the hill

You both bent for the sake of a man

Only one followed through with the plan

Only you are no more hated than

It's hard to reason with a woman with her mind made up

Especially when the woman's what a man made up

It's hard to reason with a woman with her mind made up

Especially when the woman's what a man made up

It's hard to reason with a woman with her mind made up

Especially when the woman's what a man made up

It's hard to reason with a woman with her mind made up

Especially when the woman's what a man made up

It's hard to reason with a woman with her mind made up

Especially when the woman's what a man made up

Oh Medea, oh oh Medea, how far would you go?

Say no Medea, oh no Medea, I don't wanna know

If you killed your kids and your husband's wife

Would you trip a farmer with the end of his scythe?

Oh Medea, oh oh Medea

Oh Medea, oh oh Medea
