How dare you wear a robe to preside | |
How dare you cover your head to hide | |
Your face from God | |
How dare you smile from behind your beard | |
To hide the fact your heart's afeared, | |
And wave your rod | |
How dare you be the one to assess | |
Me, in this God-forsaken mess | |
You, a man, in a purple dress | |
A man in a purple dress | |
You are all the same | |
Gilded and absurd | |
Regal, fast to blame | |
Rulers by lost word | |
Men above men, or prats | |
With your high hats | |
You priest, you mullah so high | |
You pope, you wise rabbi | |
You're invisible to me | |
Like vapour from the sea | |
How dare you? Do you think I'll quietly go? | |
You are much braver than you know | |
For I can't die | |
Your staff, your stick, your special cap | |
They'll protect in Hell? What crap! | |
Believe the lie | |
How dare you be the one to assess | |
Me, in this God-forsaken mess | |
You, a man, in a purple dress | |
A man in a purple dress | |
When you place your frown | |
Between my God and prayer | |
However grand your crown | |
Or dignified your hair | |
Men above men, or prats | |
In your high hats | |
You priest, you mullah so high | |
You pope, you wise rabbi | |
You are invisible to me | |
Like vapour from the sea | |
I lovingly mock you noble lords | |
We all dress up to grant awards | |
I do that as well | |
I dare condemn your fashion sense | |
At least you're not astride a fence | |
That would not sell | |
But I will deliver this address | |
Your soul's condition don't impress | |
You, a man, in a purple dress | |
A man in a purple dress |
