lyrics

Well you’re a gonner little missy with your desperation hissy fits and
plane jane starin’ at ya wishin’ it would quit
sell it to your soul like you really have control when it’s
itchin’, itchin’, itchin’ like a secret untold
It’s a sinister device that begs a hefty price when the
beggar goes undercover stealin’ all that he can plunder
revel in the trouble that you sow,
feel a sharp blow from Kentucky to Mexico
tell the story, tell the story, tell the story, oh little princess
feelin’ so defenseless, got to go face a million heartbreaks
stack ‘em up like dinner plates with no food
you work so hard to make it feel full
can’t tell the difference if I’m scoopin’ up ice cream or pig slop
cleanin’ up a mountain top, there’s got to be a way to stop
safety, safety isn’t what it seems
shelter is a hand-me-down of age-old suffering.
