"You Mustn't Show Weakness" lyrics
"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
