Graduation day for girls at Fertile Crescent High All the boys at Loadsmith can’t contain their appetite They drive down to the beach A simple goal to reach Girls with chosen boys in hand Stepping from the sugar sand Christen their unborn to please their man Such a perfect day to show the sanctity of love Dip your baby bump in water, blessings from above But if a virgin bleeds From the depths a monster feeds Smells of broken vows and mud With a taste for virgin blood Ready to consume our neighborhood So it’s every year A little luck, a lot of fear We show the natural ways And with a virgin leech The monster from Abortion Beach Will kill us all and so we move together All life long All life long All life long

Let me turn my brain off now I’ve forgotten the spirit of my lines And let me play on an earthen stage Before you make an agent of your mind I’ve tried your sordid method ways I have conquered the theater with your tears And damn these petty moral plays Trading feelings for educated fears And oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling I must go your curtain shows me Oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling I know nothing and nothing knows me Let me show my natural age Let me wipe off these hog bones from my face And let me play on an earthen stage My direction is free of time and space You’ve given notes, you’ve given cues Exorcised quite a big star out of me But I’m giving up on giving you Being wanted when I all I wants to be And oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling I must go your curtain shows me Oh what a feeling, oh what a feeling I know nothing and nothing knows me So my love I’m thinking of The lights from the only tech above You can go put on your show But I’m keeping this, my Greek chorus I know nothing I know nothing Nothing knows me Nothing knows me

Don’t cry, I don’t want to kill you baby Honey don’t cry, think of all the times you saved me And it’s this life that we share Let’s not take it ‘fore it even starts I will make the choices for your heart It’s the better way

You say you owned me Pulled my strings, could control me Then you want to come and hold me Ooh-ah honey I ain’t playing this time Come on and come and get me, get mine Grab back I’m gonna push you down So you can have that My thorny crown A taste of your own love of holiness Straight from the heart Let me take what you started Grab back I’m gonna make you mine I’ll twist your sad sack Your sun don’t shine How does it feel being lesser than less? Well suck it up love, it’s what God really wanted Don’t you cry like a man I control you
