Play a Jedi Mind Trick
How far does the ego inflate
how vain can one man be
thinking you outsmart a mate
controlling as you please
When you become so lazy
every little task is hard work
and mind control seems crazy
yet successful without effort
When you decide that you’ll imply
something you want done
To somebody who doesn’t mind
getting up off their bum
And they complete the mission
whilst you sit lazy as you do
when by your own admission
they were tricked and so by you
When you play this game with me
it’s not something new
I’ve played this game since I was three
yet you ain’t got a clue
I’ll let you build your confidence
so it becomes the norm
you won’t think it’s coincidence
but a skill you perform
And you’ll become reliant
and expect over time
As each time you apply it
it’ll strengthen in your mind
You really think I’m unaware
of the very things I do
showing just how much you care
and what I am to you
All the while you think you’re clever
Or that I am really thick
getting me to do whatever
some sort of Jedi trick
It doesn’t bother me one bit
you’re the lazy one
one day when you really need it
Oops it won’t be done
By when you’ll know no different
Reality as you know it to be
You’ll be left in a predicament
expectations placed on me
And if you’re really big headed
you might even have delusions
you’ve let it become embedded
you’ll fail to reach conclusions
Who the hell do you think you are
using someone you think dumb
Miles ahead of you from the start
I think you’re the stupid one
You thought you had control
and that you could use a friend
how malicious and how cold
get out my life, the end
