Scrutinize my education,
Inspect my hungry brain,
Deny me my emancipation
From this callous game.
Peer into my conscience,
Judge not what it abhors,
There's nothing flesh, nor mind, nor sentiment
That can make me yours.

Scrutinize my education,
Inspect my hungry brain,
Deny me my emancipation
From this callous game.
Peer into my conscience,
Judge not what it abhors,
There's nothing flesh, nor mind, nor sentiment
That can make me yours.
