My Sense of Pride

Sometimes you d better know who your friends are Sometimes that s the one thing you can t do Once again among my fellow townsmen After I ve wasted most of my youth Nothing is shaking and I Want to have my job back This time my sense of pride Won t stand in the way I ve lost that long ago Takes courage to say I ve been mistaken I ve been an idiot for years Now I speak in a lower voice to blend in I try not to dress up queer Nothing is shaking and I Want to have my job back This time my sense of pride Won t stand in the way I ve lost that long ago Nothing is shaking but the leaves on the trees And I want some tar and feathers No, no, nothing but the leaves on the trees Lash me with your leather I ve made a fool of myself Nothing is shaking and I Want to have my job back This time my sense of pride Won t stand in the way I ve lost that long ago
