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 your crippled inside,



You can wear a mask and paint you face,

You can call youself a new race,

You can Wear a coller and a tie,

One thing you can't hide is when your crippled inside,



Well you know your cat has nine lives babe,

Nine lives to it's self,

But you only got one and a dog's life ain't fun,

Mamma take alook outside,



You can go to church and sing a hymn,

Judge me by the colour of my skin,

You can live a lie untill you die,

One thing you can't hide is when you crippled inside
