A music artist that didn't want the adults she really wrote the song Hell is for Children about to know she was trying to
tease them by claiming it was about
child abuse, since nobody but her could possibly
decipher any of the lyrics written by her or others that wrote songs for her.
Pat Benatar was mean
spirited (at least her image was) and wanted to pretend her songs supported others to make herself look good and
wholesome, while also looking
edgy and dangerous, to have the best that came with both worlds.
