Dear George W. Bush and Company

Crippled Inside

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, nine lives to itself.

But you only got one and a dog's life ain't fun,
Momma, take a look outside.

You can go to church and sing a hymn,
you can judge me by the color of my skin.

You can live a lie until you die,
one thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.

Well now you know that your cat has nine lives,
nine lives to itself.

But you only got one and a dog's life ain't fun, Momma, take a look outside.

You can go to church and sing a hymn,
you can judge me by the color of my skin.

You can live a lie until you die, one thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.

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

-John Lennon, 1971
