Intro: (Slide Guitar) Verse 1: You can shine your shoes and wear a suit, You can comb your hair and look a quite cute. You can hide your face behind a smile. One thing you can't hide, Is when you're crippled inside. Verse 2: 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. Mamma take a look outside. Verse 3: 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. Instrumental: Take it Billy!
