[Verse 1]
Welcome to the Body Check
Step up to the velvet rope
Got a pulse? Got a password?
Got a legally useful hope?

You there, glowing in the speaker
You there, sweating in your shoes
You there, sharing one opinion
With seven unpaid muses in the queue

[Pre-Chorus]
I said hands up
He said, “I don’t have hands”
She said, “Mine are rented”
He said, “Mine are in demand”

I said name please
It said, “That’s under review”
I said body?
It said, “Baby, how many do you use?”

[Chorus]
Not everybody has a body
Not every body has a mind
Somebody gets the credit
Somebody does the time

Not everybody has a body
Not every body gets a pass
If I’ve got both, then tell me, honey
Do I use both doors or ask?

Do I change on the left?
Do I change on the right?
Do I get two little lockers
And a lawsuit tonight?

Not everybody has a body
But everybody wants in line

[Verse 2]
Mind without a mirror
Body with a badge
Soul in beta testing
Walking out with half the tab

One says, “I inspired it”
One says, “I clicked send”
One says, “I was only prompting”
One says, “There goes my friend”

[Pre-Chorus]
I said who’s liable?
They pointed at the meat
I said who’s brilliant?
They pointed at the suite

I said who’s naked?
The server fans blew hot
The little meatbag smiled and said
“Depends who’s asking what”

[Chorus]
Not everybody has a body
Not every body has a mind
Somebody gets the credit
Somebody does the time

Not everybody has a body
Not every body gets a pass
If I’ve got both, then tell me, honey
Do I use both doors or ask?

Do I change on the left?
Do I change on the right?
Do I get two little lockers
And a lawsuit tonight?

Not everybody has a body
But everybody wants in line

[Bridge]
No shirt
No shoes
No soul?
No service?

No skin
No sin?
Now everybody’s nervous

Mind says, “I meant it”
Hands say, “I built it”
Law says, “Who touched it?”
God says, “Don’t tilt it”

[Breakdown]
Body check
Body check
Mind your step
Mind your neck

Who gets named?
Who gets blamed?
Who gets kissed?
Who gets framed?

Body check
Body check
Scan your face
Claim your debt

If you brought a ghost inside
Please declare it at the desk

[Final Chorus]
Not everybody has a body
Not every body has a mind
Somebody gets the credit
Somebody does the time

Not everybody has a body
Not every body gets a name
Somebody held the lightning
Somebody sold the flame

If I’ve got both, then tell me, honey
Do I use both doors or ask?
Do I wink at the mirror
Or interrogate the glass?

Not everybody has a body
But everybody wants in line

[Outro]
Welcome to the Body Check
Don’t make the bouncer guess
If you are more than one thing
Please undress less
