lyrics

I cut my knuckle at this desk
learning steely-browed discipline
I was proud of the idea
others take my ideas and listen

I held them in confidence
I shook my head in diffidence
my heart remained on the defense
I couldn't tell the difference

I'll tell you all I understand
everything is at least third hand
will the future be so unkind
out of spite, out of mind?

I earned my own office
I worked myself lifeless
my desk became a chopping block
my replacement had my likeness

such powers of projection
you wear your conviction
without hurt, but like a victim
can you tell the difference?

I'll tell you all I understand
everything is at least third hand
will the future be so unkind
out of spite, out of mind?
