Little baby girl crying on the bus
Kicking and screaming and totally unaware of us
Oh girl, I know how it helps with a rage and a rant
You get out all the crap, you just open the vents
But I know, pretty soon, that the raging will have to end
And you’re gonna learn to cry silently
When you grow up there’ll be
No more hysterical screams
Just clasp your hands to your mouth until the demon leaves
Only your room is free
As long as you never allow a sound to leave
So you’d think that the money would buy you some
Your daddy is rich and your ma is good looking, hun
But they ain’t gonna keep you from harm or from pain
The explanations are delusional, the excuses are lame
And girl pretty soon you’ll be aching to scream again
But you’re gonna learn to cry silently
They’ve got a phasade to keep
So no hysteria, please
Just clasp your hands to your mouth until the demon leaves
And don’t you ever allow a sound to leave
And the puffy-headed rich boys
They will never really see you
They’re just watching the reflection of their own face in your eyes
And so you look around for real stuff
For something to pull you through
There it’s; white and sweet as sugar
as your dealer lays it out in front of you
You’re alone…
And you’re gonna learn to cry silently
Make no mistake, there’ll be
No more hysterical screams
Just clasp your hands to your mouth until the deamon leaves
And don’t you ever allow a sound to leave
You take it as a woman of your breed
And don’t you ever allow a sound to leave
