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
