Just like a horror film
That you've seen before
You call out to the characters and
Warn them of the end.

I guess sometimes you can't
Change what happens
Even if they make you think that
They really understand.
You've got to look the part to sell the art.

At least try to pretend that you are worth more than that.
Why are you still defending him?

And what you're feeling now
Is just a product of
The sharpened tongue, the rehearsed lines
The statutory con.
