    She hides behind it as if ashamed
    Of the God given beauty she bears
    And at other women without it
    She in disdain stares
    For men are weak, or so its said
    And lead them astray it might
    So to thwart sin and stay holy
    Women keep their beauty out of sight...

    And we in the west, look, don't understand
    Offended by it we feel
    Hold the women are as prisoners kept
    When their face they behind veils conceal
    The western woman, she wars no veil
    But proudly shows her face
    And paints it with make up and powders
    And goes all over the place

    But without make up will she be seen?
    Holy horrors, no no no!
    She must be painted to look her best
    Before among others she will go.
    She wears the veil of makeup
    Donned by the selfish urge of pride
    To please men: and is as much a prisoner
    As any Muslim who her face behind veils does hide.
