Self Confessed Hypocrite
Take my hand, take my feeble thread
Take the lead I might as well be dead
Talk to me kindly like a close warm friend
Take my ear and continually bend
Your morals are putty you continually mold
My views change to suit you, I'm feeling so old
Grind, grind me down, leave me all exposed
It's a ludicrous pretense, it's a joke to see
Contradiction in terms, hypocrite springs to mind
I search for your defence but that's all I can find
You've dug your own grave now step into it
I'll walk away self confessed hypocrite
Take your life back
You're too stubborn and brain-washed I won't attack
Going to pieces now whimper away
Go forward to Hell, enjoy your stay
Your morals are Playdo you continually mold
My views change to suit you you're looking so cold
Grind, grind yourself down now you're all exposed
It's a ludicrous pretense you're so funny to see
Contradiction in terms, hypocrite springs to mind
I search for your defence but that's all I can find
You've dug your own grave now step into it
I'll walk away self confessed hypocrite
(repeat last 4 lines again after break)
I'm droning on
Now leave me alone 'cause I've done you no harm
Three cheers for self confessed hypocrite
You've dug your grave now realise it
Your plastersine morals are turning to clay
Not always a good thing to keep them that way
Your as blind as a bat and I hate you for that
Because you turn a deaf ear to anything that's fact
Contradiction in terms, hypocrite springs to mind
I search for your defence but that's all I can find
You've dug your own grave now step into it
I'll walk away self confessed hypocrite
