I searched for you for years, everywhere
You never appeared to me, Decency
Eventually, I found purpose, but
You were ashamed to look me in the face, Decency
Come close to me I said, where are you?
You said don't bother, your voice can't be heard
Everyone's efforts were for naught
You didn't accept anyone, Decency
This merit you speak of is a fairy tale
Who decides who's decent?
The rich, poor, folks, or kings?
I see that you didn't go to any of them, Decency
C'mon, c'mon sideways (refers to swinging hips)
C'mon, sideways
I didn't ask for a palace or even a house
I only wanted you to love those that love you
I searched for a spark, I wanted a flame
You didn't even light a candle for me, Decency
When a saint in my eyes, from bread, from water
I'm tired of saying behave, stop
For being indecent for hundreds of years
You just couldn't behave and look my way, Decency
