Silly little man

(alexander)
my how you have changed
you silly little man
now everybody loves you
for reasons they don't understand
and it was all in the name of getting you
the things you knew that you had coming
you silly little man

you say you're not to blame
you silly little man
It's all part of a game
that can't be changed
you take it while you can
it's all in the name of getting you
the things that you know you have coming
you silly little man

you're with the beautiful people now

you've made yourself a name
you silly little man
your critical acclaim
and newfound fame
have made you understand
it's all in the name of getting to a place
where you feel like you're something
you silly little manyou're with the beautiful people now

now I think I understand
what the old man meant
sitting at the kitchen table
with his head between his hands
chew what you can't swallow
then spit it on the ground
smiles stop the screaming
'till your time comes around

my how you have changed
you silly little man
now everybody loves you
for reasons you don't understand
and it was all in the name of getting you
the things you knew
that you had coming
you fucking stupid silly little man

you're with the beautiful people now
