'96 TORTURED PLAYTHING

(Jack)

No-one said that life was fair It's family ties that bind So I severed mine with electric chairs And poisoned bacon rind Poor Mammy and poor Pappy And little brother too He should have been more careful Feeding rhinos at the zoo I'm just a tortured plaything Trying so hard to play my game From a dysfunctional family So I'm really not to blame See, my old daddy was Doctor Freud Now he's drifting in a bloody void I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything Twisting the game My way Even as a little boy I had to be the best Wouldn't leave the house to go to school Until I had a lurex vest Mama was so proud of me I never played the fool She used to play piano Now she'll never play at all Ha ha ! I'm just a tortured plaything Trying so hard to play my game From a dysfunctional family So I'm really not to blame Now I'm above her with a scythe And it's time for your last Short back and sides I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything Twisting the game my way Everybody better say your prayers Jack'll come and get you unawares Careful what you say From time to time I don't like cabaret And I hate mime Oh this den of society Underneath my propriety In space no-one can hear you scream Or shout But this is my playground My personal slay ground You've paid to get in And you'll never get out I tried so hard to make some friends But, they always wanted something back I thought I'd pick up little strays I make up for what they lack Set up a place where I was king By the name of Saucy Jack It's amazing what they fall for When I get them in the sack Ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm just a tortured plaything Trying so hard to play my game From a dysfunctional family So I'm really not to blame Now I'm the one who is adored For a little bit of bed and board I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything Twisting the game my way I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything I'm just a tortured plaything Twisting the game Twisting the game my way
