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
binds
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 one 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 I 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
