Can't you see?
She's spinning circles 'round your heart
She's taking scissors to your hair in the dark
To try to find some new recruits
Can't you see?
They're spinning circles 'round the academy
With hair much to short for girls
And dark meetings in the night
They've got their short hair and their slacks
And they've got their pamphlets in stacks.
They'll pay you to stay within their ranks
But you won't.
Call me a zealot
Call me a savior
Can't you see?
You're on their list
And pretty soon they'll slit your skinny wrists
Can't you see?
They want to hurt you
They'll take you in their arms
And stab you in the back
They've got their short hair and their slacks
And they've got their heroin and crack
They'll pay you to stay within their ranks but you won't.
