Good Girl

If I wanted, I could destroy them But I’m a good girl I could create and destroy and do as you condemn But like I said I’m a good girl I could stalk them, circling above their head like a vulture Become their enemy high in the sky I could destroy their world, their life, their culture And they would never know why I could drop this kindness like a red-hot poker down their back they have never prepared for my darkness Because, up till now, cruelty was something they could say I lack they have become dependent on my kindness So never forget to be grateful That am a good girl, not hateful
