There's no charity in you
And that surprises me
I guess I thought you were a golden idol
'Cause I called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips
I was obliged to pick up from the passing trade
Hey, kids, look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up, if you insist
But you'll have to ask politely
'Cause the eggshells I've been treading
Couldn't spare me a beheading
And I'll know I had it coming
From a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey, kids, look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
Well, I could have objections
Which you could override
But what's the point?
We're only flogging the horse when
The horseman has up and died
Once I testified
I swore I'd never leave a stone unturned
I bet you're really glad that I lied
