What a good, what a good man
What a good, strong man you are
You could fly if you tried to
Spread your wings and hit the stars
Hear the people scream and beg
When you knock them down a peg
As they chant your honored name
They won’t know that you’re to blame
You’re the man behind the curtain
You’re the man living in the house of glass
When they finally pick their stones up
Everybody gonna knock you on your ass
What a pal, what a leader
What a marvelous monument
Who would know, looking at you
That you’re only arrogant?
Share a pittance with the poor
Throw the rest back in your hoard
Keep them coddled, draped in fear
With no option but to cheer
When it’s dark and you’re alone
Pulling off your crown of bones
Drift to sleep so effortless
Then tomorrow, more success
