The Burning of a Salem Witch Lyrics

Getting sent home for shoulders being shown

And your skirt's too short it'll make the boys groan

She gets looks wherever she goes

Like a witch in Salem, she'll never know why they talk

That much makeup makes you a con

But you get ignored without any on

Double standards, no way to win

"Go express yourself"

Unless you aren't thin

Ah

This heart of hers is wearing away

'Cause people always got things to say

It's like she's being burned at the stake

The burning of a Salem witch

For something that she can't even switch

Unique and weird are the same words

Except unique was never for her

Tell me something I don't know

When you try to bring her down

She's sick and tired of the way they say

That they will have to meet halfway

She just wants to walk out at night

Without being forced to fear for her life

Endless words get thrown at her back

All because she doesn't fit in the pack

And they talk

She dislikes to talk in a crowd

'Cause she's always told she's being too loud

Passive perfect pretty in pink

But be scared at clubs they might spike your drink

Ah

This heart of hers is wearing away

'Cause people always got things to say

It's like she's getting burned at the stake

The burning of a Salem witch

For something that she can't even switch

Unique and weird are the same words

Except unique was never for her

Tell me something I don't know

When you try to bring her down

She's sick and tired of the way they say

That they will have to meet halfway

And history repeats itself over again

Society hates what it can't understand

The witches were killed and were always to blame

And now she feels the same

The burning of a Salem witch

For something that she can't even switch

Unique and weird are the same words

Except unique was never for her

Tell me something I don't know

When you try to bring her down

She's sick and tired of the way they say

That they will have to meet halfway

The burning of a Salem witch

For something that she can't even switch

Unique and weird are the same words

Except unique was never for her

Tell me something I don't know

When you try to bring her down

She's sick and tired of the way they say

That they will have to meet halfway
