This is an untrusted narrative. A satire of mankind's inability to accept new or foreign ideas and the "different" people who bring them to light.

lyrics

Pardon me sir but I just can't see whether
These people who follow you should know much better
This love and this kindness it seems altogether
Obnoxious, and out of the way

I come to you sir as a scapegoat
Misquote you and cast you away
This promise you bring us cries softly beneath us
All broken, and fading away

Step inside - Mesmerize
Crucified - Pacified

Pardon me miss but I've come to discover
Your manner and meter is not like the others
Unbridled, ambitious, we'll have none of this
It's obnoxious, and out of the way

I come to you miss as a scapegoat
Control you and cast you away
This horrible temptress brought swiftly to her rest
All broken, and fading away

Step inside - Mesmerize
Crucified - Pacified

How can you say we should love on another
And that I can't hate you because of your color
It's vile and bent knowing that you exist
It's obnoxious and out of the way

I come to you sir as a scapegoat
Control you and make you my slave
This biblical heathen now hangs from a tree
He's all broken, and fading away

Step inside - Mesmerize
Crucified - Pacified

Mischief
by S. J. Tucker

One of the most amazing artists I have ever worked with. The mind and soul of a songwriter twice her age, and the voice of an angel. Go, and find out the truth about ninjas. God and Tonic
