King Of Intimidation Lyrics

Spoken: The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men
of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.

For you they live in a quiet monastery
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for themAll hail the king of
intimidationModel of good Christian behavior

For you we wax, we scale, and chicken our legsFor you we chew our nails if we
had any left buy fake ones to do itWe counted to 10 temporarilyAnd it was
somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidationModel of good Christian behaviorThe role of
compromises for the family you now want someThere's only so much we can do to
make you rest assured
I am singleI am wearyYou're just jealousYou're just confusedYou're just
hungryYou're in sin nowYou're not happyYou are petty
All hail the king of intimidationModel of good Christian behaviorHe knows not
of what he has wrongly done
Forgive his ignorant behaviorYou are torturedYou are capturedYou are bustedWe
were silentYou were testedYou knew betterYou are lonelyWas it worth it?La,la,la
