My Sense of Pride
Sometimes you d better know who your friends are
Sometimes that s the one thing you can t do
Once again among my fellow townsmen
After I ve wasted most of my youth
Nothing is shaking and I
Want to have my job back
This time my sense of pride
Won t stand in the way
I ve lost that long ago
Takes courage to say I ve been mistaken
I ve been an idiot for years
Now I speak in a lower voice to blend in
I try not to dress up queer
Nothing is shaking and I
Want to have my job back
This time my sense of pride
Won t stand in the way
I ve lost that long ago
Nothing is shaking but the leaves on the trees
And I want some tar and feathers
No, no, nothing but the leaves on the trees
Lash me with your leather
I ve made a fool of myself
Nothing is shaking and I
Want to have my job back
This time my sense of pride
Won t stand in the way
I ve lost that long ago
