Been Degraded

to the tune of “Vindicated” by Dashboard Confessional

Hope
Dangles on a string
My lovely liberation
Will I be
Freed today
Will I live, or will I die?
He beats ’til I
Bleed profusely and I
Can’t remember my own
Name or residence I’ve

Been degraded
I am worthless
I am worn
But I’ll fight, I swear I’ll fight
Swear I’ll wake up every morn’
And I won’t give up
In anything I do
I’ll kick my master in the butt
I’ll get Hermione to form S.P.E.W.

So sad
How no one wants me free
They all point and laugh at Harry
When he tries
To set me free
With the sock pulled from his foot
It’s sweaty and it’s
Bloody and it smells bad
But I don’t care ’cause I’ve
Now been freed after I’ve

Been degraded
I am worthless
I am worn
But I’ll fight, I swear I’ll fight
Swear I’ll wake up every morn’
And I won’t give up
In anything I do
I’ll kick my master in the butt
I’ll get Hermione to form S.P.E.W.

So nice
How Albus hired me to work
At Hogwarts school of magic
I’ll know that moment for forever
Winky is drunk on Butterbeer
But I’ll still care for her, dear
Clean Gryffindor common room
And make more than Snape

So let me work away
Let me work away
Let me work away
Let me work
And make more than Snape
So let me work away
Let me work away
Let me work away
Let me work
And make more than Snape

Been degraded
I am worthless
I am worn
But I’ll fight, I swear I’ll fight
Swear I’ll wake up every morn
And I won’t give up
In anything I do
I’ll kick my master in the butt
I’ll get Hermione to form S.P.E.W.

My hope
Dangles on a string
My lovely liberation
