You Mustn't Show Weakness

You mustn't show weakness

Not with all the good girl and boyfriends watching you

You mustn't show weakness

There's a veil now descending and it's covering over my face

In the night there's a light in the sky that I

Can't reach out and touch no matter how much I try and I

Mustn't show weakness

And I mustn't

I mustn't look ill

The new world is flawless

You've got to have good skin

You've got to have it together whatever the weather, whatever secret storm you are born and living in

My pet

Don't let them see your weakness

Though the ways of the world wear you thin

Week in, weak out, it's weapons over welfare

It's "That's the way it's bound to stay for that's the way it's been"

My pet

Just don't get all excited

Stay strong

It's a long way down
