Lyrics
I’m floating on a sea of hubris
And the servile few keep growing
Into a school of mini-mes
I’m living like I always wanted
My words are people’s gospel
And it affects my mind, my friend
I can not keep things to myself
Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak
The other day I felt like sharing
So I handed my wisdom down
And it caused a pretty scene
Some shout at me, but I’m not worried
I’m protected by laws I loathe
And therefor disregard
I find myself the perfect man
Dearie me
I’m floating on a sea of pleasantries
’Cause no-one tells me no
And I don’t say please
Or any of those other niceties
’Cause that shit’s just weak
That shit is just weak
There were shots from some poor dummy
I never said to take my meaning by the word
Dear listener, don’t worry about me
I’m up here safe and sound
In my precious ivory tower
From a great big height
I see your plight
Now fight
