Bright Eyes - Army in the white coat lyrics

You take your clothes off right after school The tea is on, the flame is blue You hope this won't take all afternoon The TV is waiting to talk to you It's your naked body on white velour But there's no feeling, just weight on you You get nauseous now as he speaks to you Such proper language for acts so cruel He says "We all follow the rules We can't very well go and break them now, can we For you Your older sisters, I've had them too But you're my favorite, you know it's true You look like your mother, in that thin disguise Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share You see we're all trying to endure You could easily go and make your own life somewhere Couldn't you?" With the sun you rise but you keep your eyes shut The alarm clock lies, get to school on time Where you're a bag of warm fluid Where you're the corpse in the cla** You walk so near to the lockers You lay so low in the gra** Did you get that coat from the principal Did you get that bruise on the bus You should wash your hair more You should look more like us I saw you walking once under powder blue skies You looked cold still, your collar was high And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye Or that we all want to be pure But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it To do?
