Song lyrics are listed below.

Hook
watch beauty turn to death, watch a life become much less
see intelligence get wrecked, see order turn into mess
from a flower to a kiss, turn to itch inside the skin
it has power it addicts, but it lies and speaks a hiss

Verse 1
Got my ticket found my seat sat back as the curtain lifts
forty dollars, better be good the man to my right quipped
the lights went down dimmed crowd hushed for the mood shift
on the stage cries rose as an umbilical was clipped
It's a girl! It's a girl! She's our world she's our wish
said the father so proud as his daughter he kissed
her name it was Marilyn she's the star of this script
she grew up so perfect lovely as the scenes switched
she would sings songs sweet so softly with perfect pitch
she had plans she had dreams for her life and how she'd live
intelligent, strong a fiery passion lit
this character was charming full of youthful innocence
but as the plot unfolded her heart in two was ripped
money came between her parents and eventually they split
mom's new man was sick molested caressed his dick
but marilyn said no and she gave his groin a kick

Verse 2
welcome to intermission please applaud our brave heroine
Marilyn truly is a queen humble and never arrogant
this second act sees a change well it's actually quite harrowing
cause soon our brave heroine meets her adversary heroin
I made it back into my seat in time by a narrow width
the stage was set I settled in what will happen to Marilyn
at a crossroads with choice could rise great like a pharaoh is
or the road of destruction out of control go barreling
once again lights were dimmed let's watch the girl we're cherishing
the pedophile now in jail but memories still impairing ish
stress, sex, and rage from her past that embarrasses
the scenes played so fast see she chose the path perilous
first injection stuck the needle in pierced like an arrow tip
felt an exhilarating escape like an exotic type sparrow kiss
for two years till death on the streets now known as Carolyne
turned tricks for some smack black cooked spoons to shoot heroine
