i will lead you - filter

*This song is about a lawsuit Rich was faced with after a female fan alleged that she was injured by a beer can Rich threw into the crowd at a concert. For those of you who have been to a Filter concert, you know what a pitching arm Rich has, but you also know to throw out your hand to catch the flying water bottles or duck for cover (wimp).*
So here you are in your small little world
Kept up like a little precious virgin girl
To hear 'bout your grace and your silly face
Wrapped up like a knot in a ball of shoelace
And everytime I talk to you
It sounds like you're caught in a psychological flu
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't ever let them see you bleed
Don't ever let them shake your hand
Don't ever let them believe that scam
Chorus:
Skinny
And it will make you cry
Skinny
And it will make you lie
Skinny
And if it makes you soft inside
Skinny
At least you will not die
And if you take a good look at them
All caught up in their graciousless win
Every sin is their seamless smile
Will go on for a countless while
And just because they think they won
It just means that the shit has just begun
Don't ever let them see you cheat
Don't ever let them see you beat
Don't ever let them shake your hand
Don't ever let them believe that scam
Chorus
Yeah, skinny, skinny, huh
