They're almost falling over you Why don't they call a truce Whatever they are trying to do It's of little use They're drowning you in compliments Trying to furnish proof And though they speak with eloquence There is little truth You're bright, you're strong You know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy I'm watching your serenity The way your soul transcends Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door And followed by a sad parade You're on your own once more You're bright, you're strong You know the right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy
