The Ego Is a Funny Thing

The Ego is a funny thing Tell you what you want to hear Have you grinning from ear to ear It’ll assure you of everything It’ll drive you to achieve Make you look cool, Make you look mean The ego’s got a plan It’s going to teach what to believe It’s going to show you what you need to know Don’t listen to what others say Don’t worry I’ll guide the way’ Have you looking like a fool, while you’re feeling cool You need some money, I’ll teach you greed Dress the part show the illusion Do a little dance, have a little drink Laugh and cheat and think its ok Need a date, first you got to play the game Put you in a fancy car Wear shades to hide your eyes protect you from being recognized You’re in control or at least you think you are Opinionated to the core Ego dipping, forever tripping Hand waving finger flipping The ego’s a funny thing It’ll miss-lead you in every way Then call you a friend Confuse you and do all over again Have you fighting with all your friends Like a game without an end It’s that demon in your mind it wants to control you every time (Verse 1 repeat) The Ego is a funny thing Tell you what you want to hear Have you grinning from ear to ear It’ll assure you of everything Doesn’t matter if its night or day Cause the ego wants to play Always laughing when you’re thinking Right or wrong it can’t be swayed.
