about

There was an order of nuns who could not take off their clothes to bath because they could not be naked in the eyes of god. I though if god could see through the walls of a convent he certainly see through your clothes.

lyrics

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows

your mother had a baby, it was you
now what do you think your mother did do
to have that little kid?
she had sex with your father, that’s what she did

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows

there’s a moldy old bible and a kingdom come
and there in the convent was a bathtub nun
she’d like to get clean but she don’t know how
‘cause god might see her through the walls somehow

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows

so get with it, get real
look in the mirror, tell me how do you feel
you got an animal face, flesh and bone
do you really want to spend your life alone?

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows

I’m sorry my friend but I don’t believe
there ain’t nothin’ but morality up your sleeve
I shudder to think should I stick around and see
just what your morality might be

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows

so get with it, get real
look in the mirror, tell me how do you feel
you got an animal face, flesh and bone
do you really want to spend your life alone?

you’re naked underneath your clothes
everybody knows
