Don't chop off his head
To make yourself look tall
Don't tear a strip off
To make yourself feel wonderfull
Who wants to compare ?
As if this was a compertition
Leave that to teachers at school
Must preserve the tradition
It's about time you realised
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
You spend your life worrying
About what you could have been
Can't you like being you
Don't need a scalp
Don't need to be a juror
Take care of yourself
No need to feel so insecure
Waste of energy
To prove you're holier than him
Waste of energy
To find out who commits what sin
It's about time you realised
You are a specialty
There is no one like you
You spend your life worrying
About what you could have been
Can't you like being you
