The Midget's Lament

The Midget's Lament 歌詞
I walk in
I aint too dumb
I know i got some handicaps tovercome
I mean yseen one midget
Yseen em all
Oh yeah midget
Oh yeah small
And thats as far as you can see
Is that the sum
And total substance of me?
Midgets d-warfs chimps in a zoo
They all look alike to you
Well listen good
cause i dont lie
Theres a whole lot more to me
Than meets the eye
And it fills my little soul
With midget hate
The way that people will not learn
To differentiate
Yeah sure midget
Thats what you say
And thats as far as it goes
But have you ever said
Thats a hungarian midget?
Or thats a midget with
A wart on his nose?
Have you ever taken the time to notice
A midget with curly hair
It isnt fair
There are skinny midgets
Fat midgets
Gay midgets flat midgets
There are midgets in deep despair
Half a soul half a brain
Half a heart
And twice the pain
Sure theyre cute
And theyre a lot of fun
But would you want your sister
To marry one?
Midget small
Thats it and thats all
The classification it is made
Midget runt
Well now i gotta be blunt
I wish i was born
I wish i was born a spade
Sure i would still be a midget
But i would have such
Such beautiful coloration
And among my fellow midgets
I would be a sensation
Talk about standing out
In the pack
I wish i was black
Midgets d-warfs chimpanzees
Aint it all relative
When youre on your knees?
So dont tell me
Dont tell me
About minorities
I wish to christ
I wish to christ
I was black
