Song Lyrics

What`s this little lie
They keep on telling me
It`s just another high
They keep on selling me
I was only five
They fed me so much jive
They said just have a ball Just be a Barbie doll
They churned and burned me out
Until they turned me out
Over and over again

Mama I`m strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks
On the back of my brain
I`m descending pretending I`m blending
I`m going insane
And they want me to change
Mama I`m strange

I`m on a shaky wall
I`m tripping down the hall
And all the king`s men can`t
Can`t sew me up again
I`ve got a leaky head
Don`t know the full extent
I`m drowning in my bed
I`m just an accident
They chewed and blew me out
Until they threw me out
Over and over again

If I could tranquilize
I might just vaporize
They couldn`t supervise
They couldn`t criticize
I have no evidence
I have no reverence
It makes no difference
I have no innocence

Help me mama help me now
