You hear me cry out, won't you save me

You smile to my face, yet still deprave me

I need proof

You're a mean old man all right



In this semi-mad world, it's best not to think

Roll in your boat and you're bound to sink

You laugh with your mouth but your eyes don't blink

You're a mean old man all right



But the lord above knows that you lie

And your false complexion just another alibi

You laugh with your mouth but your eyes don't blink

And I'm sure that I've seen through you

And it seems all my friends are coming too



You spell me green, though the colour's blue

The debt collector has his eyes on your

But the Lord above knows that you lie

And your false complexion just another alibi

You laugh with your mouth but your eyes don't blink

And I'm sure that I've seen through you

And it seems all my friends are coming too
