I have this song off the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack and I want to know what's said in the spoken into. It ends with "spare the child and spoil the rod. I have not sold myself to God". I'd sincerely appreciate help with the rest.

I haven't beep much with the past, but I've beep plenty with the future. Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin. I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun. I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American; in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm
an American artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce. We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God. -

Whe Patti Smith used the word beep she did used it in the same aggression that the racists would use it, but in this case she's using it to replace the word outcast, as one of the posters said before me. She's a poet and she's a punk so it seems fitting that she would use an offensive word like that.

The song is about stereotypes, individuality and being crazy. Someone who is, as she says, 'outside of society,' and * a rebel ('In my heart I am an American artist') and she does what she wants - 'I was lost in a valley of pleasure and the cost didn't matter to me, the cost was to be outside of society.' Then she references Jimi Hendrix, Jesus Christ, Grandma and Jackson Pollock (an artist) and how they were all 'n i g g e rs,' or outcasts.
