Good Girl from Trash Baby by Alice Anarchy

GOOD GIRL
by Alice Anarchy

(Verse 1)
Momma tied a ribbon around my throat so tight
Said, “Don’t talk back, keep your teeth polite”
Daddy carved the dinner with a surgical grace
Swallowed my opinions and keep my place

(Pre-Chorus)
Now I’m sugar, I’m spice, I’m everything nice
Got a closet full of bones and a mouthful of mice

(Chorus)
I’m a good girl, cross my heart I hope to choke
With a smile when I bleed in the yolk
I’m a good girl, sit up straight, they said don’t complain
But my halo’s a noose and it’s straining my brain

(Verse 2)
Sunday school with a yardstick hand
Said, “God loves you best when you don’t understand”
So I stitched my lips with a shoelace string
Now I nod and I curtsy and I don’t feel a thing

(Pre-Chorus)
Now I’m sugar, I’m spice, I’m everything nice
Got a venom-laced pocket and a mouth full of ice

(Chorus)
I’m a good girl, cross my heart and hope to choke
As I smile so sweet, I bleed in the yolk
Oh I bleed in the yolk
I’m a good girl, sit up straight, don’t complain
But my halo’s a noose and it’s straining my brain

(Bridge)
Hey there, Mister, do you like my bow?
It’s made of daddy’s old larynx and mama’s big toe!
Do you like my dress? Do you like my grace?
Do you like my good girl mask sewn into my face?

(Final Chorus)
I’m a good girl, oh cross my heart and I hope to choke
I smile so sweet, I bleed in the yolk
Be a good girl, sit up straight, don’t complain
Don't you ever complain
