All the Nasties

If it came to pass that they should ask
What could I tell them?
Would they criticize behind my back,
Maybe I should let them.
Oh if only then and only then
They would understand.
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man.
If they could face it,
I could take it.
In their eyes
I know I'd make it.
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows, just fake it,
If only then and only then
They would understand.
They'd turn
A full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man.
But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize.
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes.
Maybe it would help them -
help them understand,
That a full-blooded city boy,
Is now a full-blooded city man.
Oh my soul,
Oh my soul,
Oh my soul.
