 You  need protection from the physical art of conversation
 Though  the fist is mightier than the lip, it adds the aggravation
 Bridge and Chorus:
 I  got the password
 I  got persuasion
 A  proposition  for invasion  of your privacy
 Give  yourself away  and find the fake  in me
 You'll  never be a man
 No  matter how many  foreign  bodies  you  can take
 You'll  never be a man
 When  you're half  a woman and you're half  awake
 (1)  With a face full of tears  and a chemical shake
 (2) Under the table with a chemical shake
 Given  half a chance, that I can take
 Are  you so superior, are you in  such pain
 Are  you made out of  porcelain?
 When  they made you they  broke the cast
 Don't  wanna be first, I just want  to last
 You  strike a profile on the low side of my imagination
 My  eyes climbed down to find the point of possible saturation
 (Bridge and Chorus)
