Book And a Cover
Suzanne Vega
What's that they told you
About a book and a cover?
Don't judge so quickly
Is it too much too remember?
Because pictures lie
You know
I'll show
It's so
Just give it one thought
What's that they taught you?
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
And try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie
You'll see
No sympathy
Just give it one thought
