You’ll Never Fool Yourself

I don’t know what’s going through my head

I have two of everything I need

Rich indeed

Lying in my nine foot, six inch bed

Thumbing through my first edition reads

Concience freed

But along with my possessions

My one hundred inch TV

Comes the spectre of depression

And my insecurity

The voice says stop the speculation

Leave your ego on the shelf

You can fool the population

But you’ll never fool yourself

I don’t need your reassurance

I’m quite happy up here on my own

All alone

In my tower of abundance

With all its riches and its throne

That I own

Just remember all their sayings

Leave your grade outside the room

You’ll never hear the tune that’s playing

Far outside the corporate womb

A voice says stop the speculation

Leave your ego on the shelf

You can fool the population

But you’ll never fool yourself

And when my ego takes a beating

I just think about the great unwashed

Not so posh

Choosing heating over eating

Mais Qu’ils mangent de la brioche

Fancy nosh

But along with my possessions

My one hundred inch TV

Comes the spectre of depression

And my insecurity

The voice says stop the speculation

Leave your ego on the shelf

You can fool the population

But you’ll never fool yourself

You can fool the population

But you’ll never fool yourself
