I sang a song You probably heard it wrong Something other than it Was intended to be Perhaps the meaning was elusive Or your critique rather abusive But the song Still broke free The chandelier began to shatter Stirring up quite the chatter As the song Made its way through All the people were shocked Thought they were being mocked Yet heard something Familiar and true They sat out The Dance Didn’t take a chance Being told It wasn’t worth their while Master says what’s acceptable Upright & quite respectable So they just Shut the fuck up and smile Yes, the song caused a scene Pulled their eyes from each screen They looked around And couldn’t believe How the faces they saw Were unfiltered and raw Unlike what they were Accustomed to see Those “hearts” they wanted Were not there when confronted A tinge of feeling Rather insecure The song passed their feet Lifting them off each seat As they each made their way To the floor
