Must always be seen – forever on show
You often say yes – when you really mean no
You’ve got an ego the size of a whale
Your act is fake – the rhetoric’s stale
Don’t need the truth – so why tell the lies?
Whatever you say – it’s no surprise
The sweet smell of success for you is rancid
The question “what if” remains unanswered
You say it’s OK – but I read your eyes
Deep down inside you try to disguise
So, you laugh and bite – paint on a face
And leave no room for thinking space
The simulated mock demise
Of all those feelings you despise
Why spin a line in platitudes
When all you need is attitude
Give them attitude – make it sell
Summon all to share your hell
Remove the mask – it’s time to yell
Release your mind from the padded cell.
Just be yourself – don’t try and fake it
Who knows – one day you could just make it?
Why fight to lose? – you may just win
True self belief is not a sin
