Why do these young girls dress so old
They hide cigarettes behind their back
And say their breath's just cold
And that drama makes them a scar
And it's hard to have fun
When you're acting cold as a stone
Knowing your heart's not as hard as one
And the ain't acting their age
Cuz they're actually afraid
Acting like somebody else
Like they're acting on stage
And their tactics to attract
Are to subtract from the pain
Of feeling trapped in their skin
Like you trapped in a cage
Little sister
Why do you deny yourself
You have riches hidden in your heart
It's called a treasure chest
Cuz it's buried deep inside yourself
And yet you've been giving diamonds
To men who didn't find them
And they ain't pioneers
They're pirates
To afraid of the test that requires them
To stand up to the tempests
And slay the beast that's inside of them
What man deserves gold he hasn't fought for
These daughters are worth more
Than your distorted thoughts that extort her
Acting like you bought her
You own nothing
But you been thinking that she's yours
So you been feasting on her naked flesh
Thinking that you're jaws
You been thinking that she's yours
So you been feasting on her naked flesh man
Raise the measure
These women are true treasure
But you been acting like Hugh Hefner
Trapping them inside a mental mansion
That's why we have a generation of playboys
And not men who know how to romance them
It's like Marilyn Manson kidnapped Marilyn Monroe
And held her for ransom
She's a damsel in distress
You're just a man with bad breath
Hands on her breasts
Trying to get her respect for the fact that you think you're handsome
We have forgotten who we are
We put our brothers behind bars and we give our sisters scars
And in trying to become stars
We have trampled on our sons
And our solar systems have become soulless
And our spirits have become numb
And our hearts have become empty
For without honor we have nothing
Even in this land of plenty
