Mr Hindsight Mr Brightside Parody

You didn’t know it before 
but now it’s happened you’re sure 
always need to be right
thus speaking knowingly 

It started out as a kid 
learnt what embarrassment is 
in avoidance commit 
voice aloud you’re perfect 

Now you’re calling them out 
it’s so appalling you shout 
send the feeling around 
telling what you have found

Stressed out 
if you’re wrong 
depressed, down 
can’t be known 

cus you live with fear now 

defending lies 
nobody will realise 
Damn you’re just so very wise 
smarter than all other guys 

You can only handle life  
If you’re Mr Hindsight 

Now your plan has a flaw 
unrealistically false 
you’re terrified of your faults 
web of lies has you caught 

somehow the confidence lives 
but the subconscious exists
the paradox contradicts 
falsified by your fibs 

Living fake but believe 
you shine a light and succeed 
high up from those underneath 
you better everybody

It’s terrible 
you think you’re invisible 
deep inside you’re miserable 
you are one predictive fool 
 
you live in fear now 

telling lies 
defend and never realised
damn you’re just so very wise
smarter than all other guys 

You can only handle life 
If you’re Mr Hindsight 

Know it alls 
never really know it all 
unknowingly showing all 
fear bestowed is insecure 

you’re living in fear now

Riding high 
building up your rising pride 
telling lots of lies to hide 
really just a feeble guy 

You can only handle life 
if you’re Mr Hindsight
