They said you led your life with a well mannered state of mind They said that you kept your eyes forward and your feet were held by no bind They said you were good for me, but I just can't see how they were ever right I guess they didn't know you half as well as they must've thought I guess your friends are just as fooled as you And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing You said that in all the world there were only two things you despised The first was a coward and the second was a liar You said that honesty was your policy, but that in itself is a lie Forgot to add hypocrite to your little list of how to run your life I guess your friends are just as fooled as you And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing Well I say I lead my life with a well mannered state of mind I say I like to keep moving forward and be held by no binds You may call me ambitious, but I don't see how there's any other way to be Cause a day is a lifetime if you'll only sweep your problems away I guess your friends are just as fooled as you And you talk and talk but you ain't doing nothing
