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 you   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
