Today I went and bought a magazine
there were pictures of guitars
I was thinkin to myself
how much worth it had
Beyond the shelf I found it on
pornography
everywhere i look this is what I see.
pornoography
on the tv, in the air, and on magazines
yesterday
i thought I'd watch a cartoon show
So i turned it to 25
there were children
taking each others lives
there was so much blood
lots of verbal crud
people hacking at their selves
pornography
when I look around this is all I see
I went to a music show
there were guys outside
callin each other bro
i lit a cigarette
I watched a corvette pass
then a knife went in my belly
Now i see pornography
but i'm in heaven now
things are a little better
all the women they have to wear sweaters
pornography
when I look around that is what i see
pornography
when I look around this is all i see
God decided
that i needed
to go back to the earth
as a woman in a miniskirt
so i was born in LA
to some parents that were gay
I was adopted next to nice home
it was a mansion
built mostly of brick
my parents werre so sweet
all the guys they looked at me
they thought my body was incredible
they looked at me like I was edible
But i thought to myself and i remembered
my former life
and the pornography
when I look around this is all I see.
I had me a drink
at the kitchen sink
at a party after prom
the roofies hit me oh so strong
I laid on the floor
two guys
one that i recall
had a faux hawk
they took off my clothes
with a pocket cam
they recorded as they jammed
random things in me
I thought what a sin to see
in a world of pornography
pornography
when I look around this is all i see
when i finally woke up
i saw bruises in the mirror
on my face was written slut
so i found a gun and put it to my head
and said god save me,
I'm better of if im dead
So i wrote a ltter
with a blue crayon
and i painted a picture
for the boys to see
