“Nice girls, not one with a defect,
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.
Red dogs under illegal legs,
She looks so good that he gets down and begs.She is watching the detectives.
"Ooh, it's so cute."”

But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.

Original: Ricostruite la vostra famiglia come volete voi: non perfetta, ma libera, vera. I vostri figli vi guarderanno con rispetto, non perché sarete stati impeccabili, ma perché sarete rimasti. Anche quando avrete paura. Anche quando nessuno vi crederà. Anche quando vi tremeranno le gambe.
