Good morning Marilyn
Forget the lies they taught us to believe in
For you know that Marilyn
A town that would break us apart is worth leaving
When I’ve got you here with me
I forget the pressures of the world around

Good morning Marilyn
Your white dress thrift store best is in a perfect pile
And you know that Marilyn, when we go to City Hall we’ll be going in style
We’ll take down the photographs in this room
And put up the pictures of a brand new life

And nobody’s gonna tell us what to do now
Oh but let ‘em try
We spend our lives working to be what they wanted
But what are we trying to hide?
Oh Marilyn, the walls of this town only seem to be holding us down

Good morning Marilyn
Forget the lies they taught us to believe in
For you know that Marilyn
A God that would break us apart is worth leaving
When I’ve got you here with me
I forget the pressures of the world around

And nobody’s gonna tell us what to do now
Oh but let ‘em try
We spend our lives working to be what they wanted
But what are they trying to hide?
Oh Marilyn, the walls of this town only seem to be holding us down
