Why don't they call a truce
Whatever they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
Their tedious obscenities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
Followed by a sad parade
You're on your own once more
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy
They're almost falling over you Why don't they call a truce Whatever they are trying to do It's of little use They're drowning you in compliments Trying to furnish proof And though they speak with eloquence There is little truth You're bright, you're strong You know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy I'm watching your serenity The way your soul transcends Their tedious obscenities Your patience never ends And as the night begins to fade You're heading for the door Followed by a sad parade You're on your own once more You're bright, you're strong You know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy You're bright, you're strong You know your right from wrong At least to some degree You're wise, you're tough You've heard their lies enough You smile in sympathy Explain Request ×
