You can shine your shoes and wear a suit,

You can comb your hair and look quite cute,

You can hide your face behind a smile.

One thing you can't hide;

Is when you're crippled inside.



You can wear a mask and paint your face,

You can call yourself the human race,

You can wear a collar and a tie.

One thing you can't hide;

Is when you're crippled inside.



Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,

Nine lives to itself.

But you only got one

And a dog's life ain't fun,

Mama, take a look outside.



Go!



You can go to church and sing a hymn,

You can judge me by the colour of my skin,

You can live a lie until you die.

One thing you can't hide;

Is when you're crippled inside.



Take it, brother!
