The nicest people around
Play mind games
Because even the nicest of people
Have egos that slip out from time to time
And at those times
When the nicest people
'Forget' to check their egos
We're not as nice as we like to think
As
All egos
Are as slippery
As eels
It's best to
Get to know your ego
Or it will surely slip out and
Shoot you in the foot
And if you let your ego
Shoot your foot too often
You can be sure to
Get no place good fast
Since all of the nicest people
Have egos as slippery as eels
That's why we sing:
People are people wherever we go
As all egos slip out, including yours and mine
You'll find no victims or villains in my stories
Just family and friends
Doing our best to get from here to there
Sooo
If you ask me to define my take on
D E N I A L
I'd describe our need to ignore reality in this way:
Please don't ever notice
When I'm lying to myself
Because I need to fend off reality
So I can keep my self image intact
In short
It scares me to think of myself
As a kettle
Calling a pot black—sooo
I hope you won't mind
If my perceptions darken your traits
While white washing my own
Thank you very much
