lyrics

If you cover the world in mud,
Does that make the pigs the wealthy ones?

Because everything I see is filthy
(Uninspired)
Lest the cause be overexposure
I've sunk my teeth into a thinner wire
I don't need to need to bend ( I don't need to break)
I'm nothing more than a musical cheapskate
If this is power of the pen
(I'll hold my hands still) you can drive the stake in.

Place me up against the wall
An example to them all
(I am the witch, I am the leper)

(Excuse me if I leave my fingers behind, I wasn't expecting this lack of attention)

You don't look, you don't love, you don't care, you must not.
We all have our pick of the litter
We all look over the runt and the mutt.
(The ugly stepchild)
The first accused, the last fed.
If we try to speak our minds
We get a slap on the wrist and sent to our beds.

Place me up against the wall
An example to them all
(I am the witch, I am the leper)

You know I can speak with no tongue
My voice will peak with no lungs.
(I can speak and my voice wont peak)
