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, babe
Nine lives to itself
You only got one, and a dog's life ain't fun
Mama, take a look outside

You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can 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
[Take it, bros!]

Well now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe
Nine lives to itself
You only got one, and a dog's life ain't fun
Mama, 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
One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
