What Would They Say, If They Knew?

You're a monster -
cloaked by a golden skin.
Just give up the diamonds, baby,
they're never going to let you in.

The star-studded bunch
with their side-to-side stares.
Everything you've ever done
will never, with them, compare.

Dirty, filthy, bloody baby -
trust me now, you cannot save me.
If they only knew ...
What would they say?

What you do in the shade
underneath the falling leaves
can only be decrypted
through the voice of he that believes.

Dye your hair a different color.
I'll cast the first stone again and again.
Watch the water turn to blood
as the rinse reveals your every sin.

Ugly, sinful, nasty baby -
trust me now, you will not save me.
If they only knew ...
What would they say?

They say I'm corrupt.
They say I'm a tease.
They whip my body into shape
because I forgot to say please.
Who is really the monster -
the damned or the damner?
I guess the coffin lid has nails
but where did I leave that hammer?

Wash me now that I am crazy -
trust me now, you've got to save me.
What would they say?
                     If they only knew...
