The Prophet Abandoned By His Flock
I drink now and I speak the truth
hypocrisy was my friend
I had to pretend not to be what I am
not to do what you do
and this is most evil of all
I have never done an honest days work in my life
my tongue now loosened by champagne
but I speak as I do everything
for all the world to know
you used to listen to what I said
Take a drink my friend
just say what you have in your heart
I never could do either
