Lyrics
MENTAL SCARS
They’ve called you every cruel name from cynic to snob,
Their words and looks, like needles large and small,
Leave you with the feeling you gotta be a slob
And your jokes just never raise no laughs at all…
When your smallest faults are magnified, distorted, advertised
And you cannot hope to do a thing that’s right,
When everyone’s against you, every action criticized,
And the only path left to you is to fight…
(And you fight…oh, you fight…)
And your lips become the tighter and your answers short and rude
And each one in his own uncaring blindness
Thinks that you’re impossible, so you taste solitude,
When all they had to do was try some kindness…
Why don’t they understand their cruel jokes cut you through and through:
Though they may not believe it, you can FEEL!
And every time the seeing blind pull a cruel one on you,
Your mental scars take a longer time to heal…
(Sometimes they just don’t heal…)
(Interlude)
Why don’t they understand their cruel jokes cut you through and through:
Though they may not believe it, you can FEEL!
And every time the seeing blind pull a cruel one on you,
Your mental scars take a longer time to heal…
