lyrics

Take a knife and cut through the sugar
and cut through the naps
and cut through the television
Take a knife and cut through the coffee
and cut through the cigarettes
and cut through the alcohol
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
The world would split open and show its anger
and call her a lunatic with a knife

Take a knife and cut through the billboards
and cut through the magazines
and cut through the media woman
Take a knife and cut through the fear
and cut through the past
and cut through the nice girl act
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
The world would split open and show its anger
and call her a murderer with a knife

But I don't care I don't care
truth at any price
you can drag me away, lock me up
but I don't have to close my eyes
I'd rather spend one moment
at peace with my own heart
than a thousand years at some cocktail party
laughing politely
wondering when my next drink's coming from

Take a knife and cut through the bullshit
and cut through the thick pool of doubt
that keeps everyone out
especially myself
Take a knife and cut through the sugar
and cut through the fear
and cut through the alcohol
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
