OWN SKIN
SHE SAID “PRETENDING DOESN’T SUIT YA
WHY JA WANNA BE SOMEBODY ELSE?
THERE’S PLENTY PHONY STUFF AROUND
LOCKIN ALL OF US IN PRISON CELLS
THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE EVER GONNA WIN
IS IN YOUR OWN SKIN”
THAT LITTLE WILLIE SHAKESPEARE
HAD A LINE, “TO THY OWN SELF BE TRUE”
EASY NUFF TO SAY, HARDER YET TO LIVE IT LIKE SO FEW
THE ONLY WAY TO RISE ABOVE THE SIN
IS IN YOUR OWN SKIN
SKIN ALL YOU GOT
SKIN CAN’T BE BOUGHT
SKIN FIND A WAY
SKIN MAYBE SOME DAY
I WAS STANDING AT THE PEARLY GATES
WHEN PETER ASKED ME, “HOW’D IT GO?
HOPE YOU MADE IT REAL
I’LL PASS ALONG A SECRET THAT I KNOW
THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE EVER GETTING IN
IS IN YOUR OWN SKIN
You know, I get royalties when you use one of my lines. My attorney will be contacting you.
My Good Man, William,
To sue, or not to sue…
Tom
