Little Sister Songtext
von Joyce Cooling

You seem cool, your thoughts collected
You're out of school and unprotected
The smile you wear tells me things are less than fine
You laugh and dance – I think you're happy Then by chance reality slaps me
It reveals the same old pain I used to know
Coming through the other side Means there's nothing left to hide
Little Sister, Little Sister
Can't measure up – an age-old message
So messed up we join the wreckage
When we believe that we're less than who we are
We buy with zeal – a promising potion


All to heal the downward motion
I want to know, sister, who are we trying to please?
In your heart you're not alone
It's saying, "sister, come on home"
Little Sister – come on home girl. Little Sister – you're not alone
A shiny stamp is the image
A virgin vamp on the line of scrimmage
She doesn't know that it's someone else's dream
We scratch the edge of their pictures
We're on the ledge like a fixture
Why do we fall for the doll of wax and straw?
