Some things, well, I don't wanna see
Don't want 'em in my face
'Cause some things once you see 'em
Well nothing can erase
It's like catching your mom and dad
In flagrante delicto
It forever shapes your image of them
As less than perfecto
How do you yank the ugly clean out of your brain
Some things go well beyond the hideous and profane
Goddam them nasty bits, goddam them all to hell
Some things, well, I don't wanna know
Don't want 'em by my door
Like the guy in front of my apartment
Who was face down on the floor
When I asked him how he got there
He seemed a little perplexed
But he had enough presence of mind
To check to see if he got a text
Could have been a terrorist
Could have been a robbin' hood
Whatever he was up to, I’m sure it's no good
Some things, well, I don't wanna see
Like my neighbor across the alley
He parades around in his birthday suit
Hey, pull the curtains down, pally
What goes on behind closed doors
Should remain out of sight
Don't wanna see all your nasty bits
Keep them locked up tight
All we got is our dignity
To separate us from the apes
You can do what you wanna do
Just keep it behind your drapes
