rainbow queen

She died when she was only seventeen She flourished like a graceful rainbow queen Her people thought she was mighty in the bone But she was just as broken as her home It's unclear Why you treat me so mean It's unclear Why you think me unclean I was born here On your stupid fucking stage I am scorned here by old men scared of my face Do we do to you What you do to me? Keep our schools run-down Do we do to you What you do to me? Crush our spirits when we're young Tell your kids it's wrong To associate with those who are not blonde She was exhumed from an early grave To be a prop in your profit press parade Some say she earned it I think I heard Candace say she deserved it To be blown away like she was never even born To be blown away like she was never even born It's unclear Why you treat me so mean It's unclear Why you think me unclean I was born here On your stupid fucking stage I am scorned here by old men scared of my face No good deed goes unpunished Few of our great heroes are left alive What is pictured Is how it ends How it begins
