I've heard it said that it's a man's world
But God is a Girl
She's packing poison and wielding a rusted axe
For the shit that she's endured
The Lady Bluebeard's letters may offer heaven
But she'll hasten them to hell
The only god one should ever fear is the devil
And her name is Belle
The Chicago ads ran, Belle yearned for a sincere man
Triflers need not apply
14 responded and 14 disappeared
Every son of God has to die
Last thing they dreamed of was her sweet embrace
Black-faced in the ash
Her lover Lamphere said the body wasn't hers
Belle escaped with the cash
Silence was the threat of her unbroken promise
No bright lights, just an endless sea of black
It may not have been their own sins that they paid for
But divine wisdom is never subject to moral intellect
I've heard it said that all roads lead to the kingdom
Golden streets and virgins to quell
But the kingdoms paved with blood and shit
It's a pigpen in Laporte
And it belongs to Belle
Give 'em hell, Belle
Give 'em hell
Give 'em hell, Belle
Give 'em hell
Give 'em hell, Belle
Give 'em hell
Give 'em hell, Belle
Give 'em hell
Make the men pay
There's no wives, only slaves
Give 'em hell, Belle
Give 'em hell
