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
but you only got one
and a dog’s life ain’t fun
mamma take a look outside
You can go to church
and sing a hymn
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
