IMAGE OF YOU

Gee, it must be comforting to know
That neither up above or below
Is there knowledge that is bigger than yours
I am so glad you're so willing to disperse

     Rumours of infallibility
     That you've made clear for everyone to see
     The one they'll never hold a candle to
     Is the modest, righteous, selfless image of you

Oh, it is so comforting to see
That perfection grows in the vicinity
A paragon of immaculate excellence
Strangling, in anger, each new angle of incidence

     And the rumours...

Were lies!
All that you ever tried
Is to keep every dream denied
And cheer every soul agonized
And celebrate every dreamer that died

So, you stay constantly in flight
So that you can sleep straight through the night
Never to let a thought seep in your mind
And keep everyone convinced and satisified

     Of rumours of infallibility
     That you've made clear for everyone to see
     The one they'll never hold a candle to
     Is the modest, righteous, selfless image
     What a senseless, ludicrous image
     Selfmade, tremor-swayed, cretinous image of you
