"Love cannot be a sin"
Love cannot be a sin
Says a forty year old guy
Says a forty year old guy
While rubbing in between the legs of a thirteen year old girl
While rubbing in between the legs of a thirteen year old girl
She wears tacky dresses
She wears tacky dresses
And dreams of being a famous singer
And dreams of being a famous singer
But she barely has enough to eat
But she barely has enough to eat
"God has chosen you, that's why we are together
"God has chosen you, that's why we are together
I will be your saviour and I will make you a superstar"
I will be your saviour and I will make you a superstar"
He says while he fucks her in an alley at night
He says while he fucks her in an alley at night
She doesn't know yet, she's a gem
She doesn't know yet, she's a gem
The brightest diamond in town
The brightest diamond in town
Five years have passed, she cries every day
Five years have passed, she cries every day
Her dreams have faded
Her dreams have faded
And she no longer believes in God
And she no longer believes in God
He killed the last drop of her happiness
He killed the last drop of her happiness
And took all of her youth
And took all of her youth
And that makes him feel good
And that makes him feel good
He knows that God understands him
He knows that God understands him
Because God is also a man
Because God is also a man
Because God is also a man
Because God is also a man
And the motherfucker knows she's a gem
And the motherfucker knows she's a gem
The brightest diamond in town
The brightest diamond in town
She never told anyone because she was afraid
She never told anyone because she was afraid
No one was going to believe a small-town girl who went
No one was going to believe a small-town girl who went
Out at night with her shiny dress and broken shoes
Out at night with her shiny dress and broken shoes
She doesn't know yet she's a gem
She doesn't know yet she's a gem
The brightest diamond in town
The brightest diamond in town
