Cover Up
Put on some make-up to cover the bruises
Put on a wig to cover the bald spots
Put on long sleeves to cover the scars
Put on those shoes pretending they're mine
Put on a show so no one will indicate bad entertainment
Put on an act so they think you are what you're not.
Put on a wig to cover the bald spots
Put on long sleeves to cover the scars
Put on those shoes pretending they're mine
Put on a show so no one will indicate bad entertainment
Put on an act so they think you are what you're not.

This World
If measles were nice
And lies weren't lies.
Life would be a real delight
But nothing would be right
For i wouldn't be I
If earth was heaven and
False was true and
Past was present
If there wasn't any tense
For i would be in suspense
For a long pretense
You wouldn't be you
If fear was hope
The globe was square dirt was clean
Tears were joy
Things wouldn't be fair
We'd all be in despair
For if i was there
We'd never be we.
And lies weren't lies.
Life would be a real delight
But nothing would be right
For i wouldn't be I
If earth was heaven and
False was true and
Past was present
If there wasn't any tense
For i would be in suspense
For a long pretense
You wouldn't be you
If fear was hope
The globe was square dirt was clean
Tears were joy
Things wouldn't be fair
We'd all be in despair
For if i was there
We'd never be we.
