Album: Following Ghosts
Mistakes, mistakes... I know you don't make 'em
Problems, problems... I know you don't create 'em
I know that you know you are never, ever wrong
Always blaming somebody else
Though we're not sure quite sure who
But you and I know because you told me so that it's not
You!
Because you're... perfection personified, never lost
And never lied
Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone
Of how not to live your own life!
So sad, so sad, you're not aware of your own failings
Opinions, opinions... you've got them by the truckload
Even when you don't understand what you're saying
But still you amble along in your own perfect bubble
Leaving behind you a trail of rubble
Whose going to catch you when you finally fall?
Because you're... perfection personified, never lost
And never lied
Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone
Of how not to live your own life!
Respectable, infallible, unculpable, unfathomable, not
Liable
Thoroughly objectionable, sitting on a pedastal that's
In danger of collapsing...
The epitome of smarm, so smug and self satisfied
Safe in your cushy job, plenty of money
Devoted family man and a wife who calls you 'honey'
You're smiling and we're smiling and we're laughing at
You
You think you have it made but what you don't realise
Is that the joke is on you
Because you're... perfection personified, never lost
And never lied
Perfection personified, a perfect example to everyone
Of how not to live your own life!
