PAIN IN THE NECK -
Excuse me sir, you’ve seemed to drop your wallet and your dignity
It’s time to pick up all the pieces with your decency
One two, feeling blue, you’ve got the answers through and through
Sarcasms’ needed in the land of the winning
Hey there mister, just get with the program, get back to two times two
Step back and listen to the council cause they know what to do
Three four, I want more, take all your problems out the door
Values are needed in the land of the forgiving
Like a bird at your steps, you gotta retrace your debts
And you know that the cleansed will survive
Regain confidence but just keep it in your head that in the end
You’re just another pain in the neck
The kings and queens are dinning in the parlour with conflict on the rise
The oceans filled with dirty water that’s full of petty lies
One two, feeling blue, you’ve got the answers through and through
The truth is needed in the land sinning
Like a bird at your steps, you gotta retrace your debts
And you know that the cleansed will survive
Regain confidence but just keep it in your head that in the end
You’re just another pain in the neck
TALL POPPY SYNDROME -
Jealous Eloise hangin’ from your trapeze
Why don’t you come down, down, and say what you mean?
Motor mouth, water spout, spiral of ice where your throat should be
I wonder how you sleep at night?
You’re so clever with your lies
The way you weave them is just splendid
Those nasty little sugar coated smiles of vile contentment
All those itty bitty people standing in your way
Ah, you’ve got Tall Poppy Syndrome
Did Cinderella ever really treat you like this?
She may intimidate but at least she’s never been a little bitch
Now come on Eloise, you got nothing to prove
You’re gonna go down, down if you got attitude
Yeah
You’re so clever with your lies
The way you weave them is just splendid
Those nasty little sugar coated smiles of vile contentment
All those itty bitty people standing in your way
Ah, you’ve got Tall Poppy Syndrome
