Jovial Hypocrisy

Stand up, tall and proud
With that megaphone to your mouth.
Everyone's dying to hear what you have to say.
Please, just make sure they never see
What you really look like, when the spotlight goes away.
For you, it's opposite day every day,
So tell the world what you really want to say.
I'm sure they'll listen,
After all, you are like a prophet
With all the wisdom and knowledge in the world,
We all want to know what we're missing!

Excuse me, I'm sorry,
I don't think I heard you right?
Or maybe I did...
But I don't see what you preach in your life.
Preach it brother. Preach it sister.
See what happens,
When the ground below you crumbles
When your life tumbles down, down, down
Into that spiral you're not fond of.

I think it'd be nice
If we could think twice here,
If we would say what's right here,
If we could win the fight here.
But no... I'm sorry, I guess we can't.
Because everything we've ever learned
Is nothing but a lie here.
