The Performance of a Lifetime (Lepers not welcome!)

wash down some Dramamine
with six shots of caffeine
don't i look pristine
doesn't my skin glow?

veneered and smiling
a wit that beguiling
countless lies are compiling
no one will know

"Come join us" they whisper
"there's a part you can play:
'the content little preacher
with nothing to say.'"

Be beautiful
appealing
aesthetically pleasing.
Be loved
or be cherished.
Be nothing at all.

My words can be Prozac
mounting Hell onto man's back
kill the mood with a voice crack
my true feelings would show

life just like fame
gone as quick as it came
better my words than my name
be remembered after i go

I like being ugly
and I'm proud to be crass
i'm the leprous warrior
battling the snake in the grass
