Crippled Inside Lyrics - Yoko Ono

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, babe, 

Nine lives to itself. 

But you only got one 

And a dog's life ain't fun, 

Mama, take a look outside. 

Go! 

You can go to church and sing a hymn, 

You can judge me by the colour of my skin, 

You can live a lie until you die. 

One thing you can't hide; 

Is when you're crippled inside. 

Take it, brother! 

Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe, 

Nine lives to itself. 

But you only got one 

And a dog's life ain't fun, 

Mama, take a look outside. 

You can go to church and sing a hymn, 

You can judge me by the colour 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.
