A Man In A Purple Dress

How dare you wear a robe to preside?

How dare you cover your head to hide

Your face from God?



How dare you smile from behind your beard

To hide the fact your hearts a feared

And wave your rod?



How dare you be the one to access

Me in this God-forsaken mess

You, a man in a purple dress

A man in a purple dress



You are all the same

Gilded and absurd

Regal fast to blame

Rulers by lost word



Men above men, all brats

With your high hats



You priest, you mullah so high

You Pope, you wise rabbi

You're invisible to me

Like vapor from the sea



How dare you, do you think I'll quietly go?

You are much braver than you know

For I come die



Your staff, your stick, your special cap

They'll protect in hell, what crap

Leave the lie



How dare you be the one to access

Me in this God-forsaken mess

You, a man in a purple dress

A man in a purple dress



When you place your frown

Between my god and prayer

However grand your crown

Would dignify your hair



Men above men, all brats

In your high hats



You priest, you mullah so high

You Pope, you wise rabbi

You're invisible to me

Like vapor from the sea



I lovingly mock you noble lords

We all dress up too grand to waltz

I do that as well



I dare condemn your fashion sense

At least you're not a stride offense

That would not sell



But I will deliver this address

Your souls' condition don't impress

You, a man in a purple dress

A man in a purple dress
