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
