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
