|
| More he gained, the more he would lose
|
| And I know I was in the front row
|
| Like to think I’ve it all figured out
|
| From man with all of the clout
|
| He would shout
|
| It’s easy to suss out:
|
| Next time one shows you
|
| Who they are, believe them
|
| My friend, next time one shows you
|
| Who they are, believe them
|
| My God, how I love to inflate
|
| Things I say with my delivery
|
| And I know I was in the front row
|
| I believe I have it all figured out
|
| From the man with all of the clout around town
|
| It’s easy to suss out:
|
| Next time one shows you
|
| Who they are, believe them
|
| My friend, next time one shows you
|
| Who they are, believe them
|
| And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright
|
| And in the end, his face was pulled tight and I would lie and say alright
