All Airs

In the airy company of certified egotists
at times I'd rather be.

Y'see, they've got this skewed perception 
of reality which is okay with me.

Though they say they're the bestest of the best,
they've got a trait I find admirable.

Of pure vanity they're so full, they don't normally
talk about other people.

A minor problem though is they want me to be all ears
to their vainglorious years.

And to brag to them I have no chance, they don't care
about my conquests and romance.

Thus, in the airy company of real egotists
at times I'd rather not be!
