Crippled Inside

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] Well now you know that your cat has nine lives Nine lives to itself But you only got one and a dog's life ain't fun Mama take a look outside [Dobro Solo] [Verse 3] You can go to church and sing a hymn You can judge me by the color 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, cousin! [Piano Solo] [Bridge] Well now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe Nine lives to itself You only got one and a dog's life ain't fun Mama take a look outside [Verse 3] You can go to church and sing a hymn You can judge me by the color of my skin You can live a lie until you die One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside [Outro] One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside One thing you can't hide Is when you're crippled inside
