A stitch in time, they say
Saves nine
I think it saves none
That's why I dress to kill with pride
So I can save them
I wear a shirt made to waste away
I wear a skirt that deteriorates too quickly
So used to dancing by their design
Who is to blame when
They say that vultures are vogue now
If only for half a day
I'm sold on all of their tactics
Aren't you too?
Dye cloth with blood and chemicals
Pink rivers, blue minds, chronicles
Of bad conditions and assaults
Work faster, wear faster
Bricks next to bags when buildings fall
We bear that baggage by default
They coat the truth, put all their bones
In the closet, then close it tight
What we wear on our bodies
Is their dirty laundry
Momma said to wash it clean
A green polyester dream, torn at the seams
They say that vultures are vogue now
If only for half a day
Dye cloth with blood and chemicals
Pink rivers, blue minds, chronicles
Of bad conditions and assaults
Work faster, wear faster
Bricks next to bags when buildings fall
We bear that baggage by default
They coat the truth, put all their bones
In the closet, then close it tight
Dye cloth with blood and chemicals
Pink rivers, blue minds, ragged dolls
Cut from one cloth, yet those above
Rip faster, tear harder
This disease seems too chronic, all
Of us still try to carry on
Dying in blood and chemicals
