Crippled Inside

Song/Lyrics by John Lennon

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
you can comb your hair and look quite cute
you can hide your face behind a smile
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

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
nine lives to itself
but you only got one
and a dog's life ain't fun
mamma take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
you can judge me by the color of my skin
you can live a lie until you die
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

Well now you know that your
cat has nine lives
nine lives to itself
but you only got one
and a dog's life ain't fun
mamma take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
you can judge me by the color of my skin
you can live a lie until you die
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

One thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside
