Little Miss Emperor

You're not giving an inch You're strung like wire Your open arms they flinch Joan Crawford style Treated like a towel Inside you howl On some dark concrete Midnight street You've built an altar That's quite complete Your self control Is damned amazing You're trying hard And I want you Little miss emperor You really want to grow And you're alert, I know But babies mostly drown It's a company town Cheat gods and joke Attack your noble ghost I saw the best minds Of my generation Learn how to crawl Across our nation Conformity falls Like one wet blanket Look how we live And I want you Little miss emperor Little miss emperor Trying to open doors --- Little Miss Emperor - Iggy Pop
