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
