A Personal Lie

Chris Juris

The studied inclination you call personality

Is glued to your brain – it made you insane

Well – the distance between flexibility and pretence

Is much longer than your guarding excuse from this, so



You're stuck in your part You're stuck in your part

You can't break loose You can't break loose



Now, play your part, man!



You're proud of your part You're sitting in a social

Ladder with the Christians, the Satanists and Barbarians,

The Well-bred, the Non-skilled and the Experts

Gloating on your holy valuation of style – in a big blank file



chorus: Do I fail to flatter?

Afraid of having none? Afraid that they're afraid you're having none?

Too much knowledge is being usurped only to be devoted cinically in

The purpose of outdoing



You wanna play a game with rules laid down by you

You wanna play – remember your assessed victim has got his rules too



You're worth a laugh, babe.... If only we could share it

Ha ha.... HA!



Your very being depends on others' theory of your intellectual standard

But hey – is that really the best you ever can do in the part of life

That belongs to you?



You're stuck in your part You're stuck in your part

You can't break loose You can't break loose



You wanna climb up to the top of the mountain – but you only use

Your feet – you forget your head.... And one fine day when you wear

Out your feet you're gonna slide all the way back on your ass!



So sad how such things go....quite predictable, o
