We don't see much of your sort around here
The sort of stories that you tell are not the sort we're used to hearing
Is it any wonder that nobody seems to listen?
We shake our heads, we let out our breath and sigh, "Oh no, it's just him again," but
I'm not falling for that dirty old trick again
You strike a match against the pyre that we built for ourselves
You see us carrying dry branches and you ask couldn't we think to build something else?
We answer, "This is what we do, this is what we've always done"
You look us in the eye, we look away, ashamed of ourselves, every one, but
I'm not falling for that dirty old trick again
