pettiness and provocation

Pretty proper people with their perfect   pristine life's.
Possess pretty purple shoes and tell their petty lies. 

Pretty proper people play with our politics.
And forget the times when they would pound our heads with bricks.

Pretty proper people prance across their polished floors
Insisting that my pitied life is full of open doors

These pretty proper people still need to try
To perfect the broken pieces and even though night is nigh

Pretty proper people push me into a mold
Persistently praying that with them I won't be cold

Pretty proper people hide their messed up pretty lives
Now I'm pretty proper, and I just sit here and I cry.
