Devil in a New Dress
We’re born with the innocence of Roosevelt’s bears
And seen as elegant as a dancer in ballet
And taught to strive for the crown and sword
And dream of living in paradise with our own angel
Our mouths are open
Fangs flaring
Lungs howling
Lips dripping
But bears become rabid
And dancers diseased
And angels plunge
And the crown falls with a sword to the head
