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
Although 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
Followed by 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
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
