they took janey janey janey

& they taught her to be good
& janey forgot janey

& did just what she should.

but deep within her mind-self
another janey stood

the other janey pinched the first
& hurt her if she could

now janey janey janey
has forgotten how to talk

& good girl little janey
can hardly even walk

she always behaves perfectly
with charming robot ways

she always smiles
from dawn to dusk

but never sings
or plays

& deep within her mindself
another janey stands

with cruel whips
& heavy chains

& demons at her hands

1981
