Little Miss emperor
--------------------------------

You're not giving an inch
   You're strung like wire
   Your open arms they flinch
   Joan Crawford style
   Treated like a towel
   Inside you howl

On some dark concrete
   Midnight street
   You've built an altar
   That's quite complete
   Your self control
   Is damned amazing
   You're trying hard
   And I want you
   Little Miss emperor

You really want to grow
   And you're alert, I know
   But babies mostly drown
   It's a company town
   Cheat gods and joke
   Attack your noble ghost

I saw the best minds
   Of my generation
   Learn how to crawl
   Across our nation
   Conformity falls
   Like one wet blanket
   Look how we live
   And I want you
   Little Miss emperor
   Little Miss emperor
   Trying to open doors
