Oh Mother Madness
How do I look through your eyes?
You pull the strings and I'm a monster in disguise
When I was seeking for a bit of tenderness
You kept me in the dark like a well-guarded secret
Oh Father Sadness
Am I meaty as you are?
Can't say myself since I am hiding behind the scars
You are the hand that feeds but you are scaring me to death
While you are drowning in the bottle
I am waiting for your last breath
And you say
(Mother Madness)
"Oh Glen, you have always been such a fright
All alone and dressed in black
You are misanthropic"
(Father Sadness)
"Oh Glenda, wipe that painting off your face
Your hair is such a disgrace
Shame on you my girl"
Pretty on pictures like a happy family
I hide my smile behind a row of broken teeth
You put some make-up on to cover up the spots
And always the show must go on no matter what
And I don't know what I am
A boy, a girl or a man?
I'd like to be all but I can't
And when I'm awake in my bed
I hear what you are saying
(Mother Madness)
"Oh Glen, there are names for boys like you
They are all gonna laugh at you
You sick little thing"
(Father Sadness)
"Oh Glenda, you are all wet and drenched in blood
You name is written in the mud
You ain't that pretty"
My toys are broken
My mind is shattered
I'm seeing red
I only wanted to be an eye candy
But the whole town is out hunting the black sheep
I'm in the death row
The flames are burning at my feet
(Mother Madness)
"Oh Glen, now you have swallowed your pride
And you will have nothing to hide
When you are six feet under"
(Father Sadness)
"Oh Glenda, you ate all your fingernails
Nailed on the cross in your dress
We are setting you on fire"
