Stella
Kowalski:
You didn't need to do that.
Stanley
Kowalski:
Don't forget all that
I took off her.
Stella:
You needn't have been so cruel to someone alone as she is.
Stanley:
Delicate article she is.
Stella:
She is.
She was.
You didn't know
Blanche as a girl.
Nobody, nobody, was tenderand trusting as she was.
But people like you abused her,and forced her to change.
No one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality
They need your innocence
To steal vacant love and to destroy
Your beauty and virginity used like toys
My mind is dead, everybody love's me
Wants a slice of me
Hopelessly passive and compatible
Need to belong, oh the roads are scarey
So hold me in your arms
I wanna be your only possession
Used, used, used by men
Used, used, used by men
All they leave behind is money
Paper made out of broken twisted trees
Your pretty face offends
Because it's something real that
I can't touch
Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower
No god reached me, faded films and loving books
Black and white
TVAll the world does not exist for me
And if
I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops
Your diet will crush me
My life just an old man's memory
Little baby nothing
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
Dress your life in loathing
Breaking your mind with
Barbie
Doll futility
Little baby nothing
Sexually free, made-up to breakup
Assassinated beauty
Moths broken up, quenched at last
The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair(c) 1991
