The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust
In this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, feed you
Teach you, dress you
I who looked upon you
Without fear
How can I protect you, boy
Unless you always
Stay in here
Away in here?
You are deformed
I am deformed
And you are ugly
And I am ugly
And these are crimes
For witch the world shows little pitty
You do not comprehend
You're my defender
Out there
They'll reville you as a monster
I am a monster
Out there they'll hate and scorn and jeer
Only a monster
Why invite their curses
And their consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to me
I'm faithfull
Grateful to me
I'm grateful
Do as I say
Obey
And stay in here
