The Good Girl

Mother, I am a good girl, aren't I

I've learned to smile even when I'm afraid

I've learned not to look too closely at the men with guns

I've learned to stay quiet and not be seen

I've learned to love our Supreme Leader

praise him for all we have and all he protects us from

I'm a good girl.

But Mother, why am I always hungry?

Mother, why is there sadness in your eyes?

Mother, why do you squeeze my hand so tight

when we sing our praise to our Leader?

Mother, I can hear your heartbeat going wild

when the protectors of our country walk by

Mother, I can see your jaw clench from all the smiling

Mother, there's more room in my clothes now

It's good, isn't it?

There's no need to get new ones now

I'm being a good girl, aren't I?

Mother, I didn't know we had this much food

The Leader is so good to us

Mother, I told all my friends

how our Leader takes care of us

provides us with all this food

Mother, why are you crying?

Mother, where are they taking you?

Mother, did I do something wrong?

But I'm a good girl, aren't I?

MOTHER!
