A Man In A Purple Dress |
| How dare you wear robes and reside |
| How dare you cover your head to hide |
| Your face from God |
| How dare you smile from behind your beard |
| To hide the fact that your hearts are feared |
| And wave your rod |
| How dare you be the one to assess |
| Me in this godforsaken mess |
| You, a man in a purple dress |
| A man in a purple dress |
| When you place your frown |
| Between my God and prayer |
| However grand your crown |
| Or dignified your hair |
| Men above men all prats |
| In your high hats |
| You priest, you mullah so high |
| You pope, you wise rabbi |
| You’re invisible to me |
| Like vapor from the sea |
| I lovingly mock you noble lords |
| We all dress up to grand awards |
| I do that as well |
| I dare condemn your fashion sense |
| At least you’re not astride the fence |
| That wouldn’t sell |
| But I will deliver this address |
| Your souls conditioned don’t impress |
| You, a man in a purple dress |
| A man in a purple dress |
