Crippled Inside (In Memoriam of John Lennon II)


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 wear a mask

and paint your face

you can call yourself

the human race

you can wear a collar
and a tie
but the one thing you can't hide
is when you're
crippled inside
well now you know
that your
cat has nine lives babe
nine loves to itself

but you only got one

and a dog life ain't no fun
mamma take a look outside.

you can go to church
and sing a hymn

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.




John Lennon
