Lyrics

Hate, love, and war
Force emotions to the fore
But not for me
Of course, of course
I keep mine hidden

I keep mine hidden
But it's so easy for you
Because you let yours flail into public view

Yellow and green
A stumbling block
I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock
With a past where to be "touched"
Meant to be "mental"

I keep mine hidden
But life is so easy for you
Because you let yours slide into public view

Use your loaf
