A Place for the Past?

She's an ugly girl,
Does it make you want to kill her?

She's an ugly girl,
Do you want to kick in her face?

She's an ugly girl,
She doesn't pose a threat.

She's an ugly girl,
Does she make you feel safe?
Ugly girl...

Do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

She's a pretty girl,

Does she make you think nasty thoughts?
She's a pretty girl,

Do you want to tie her down?
She's a pretty girl,
Do you call her a bitch?
She's a pretty girl,
Did she sleep with your whole town?
Pretty girl...
Do you hate her
'Cause she's pieces of you?

You say he's a faggot,
Does it make you want to hurt him?
You say he's a faggot,
Do you want to bash in his brain?
You say he's a faggot,
Does he make you sick to our stomach?
You say he's a faggot,

Are you afraid you're just the same?
Faggot...
Do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?

You say he's a Jew,
Does it mean that he's tight?
You say he's a Jew,
Do you want to hurt his kids tonight?
You say he's a Jew,
He'll never wear that funny hat again.
You say he's a Jew,
As though being born were a sin.
Oh Jew...
Do you hate him
'Cause he's pieces of you?
