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
