Silly little man

My, how you have changed
You, silly little man
Now everybody loves you
For reasons they don't understand

It was all in the name of getting you
The things you knew that you had coming
You, silly little man

You say you're not to blame
You, silly little man
It's all part of a game that can't be changed
You take it while you can

It's all in the name of getting you
The things that you know you have coming
You, silly little man

You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now

You've made yourself a name
You, silly little man
Your critical acclaim and newfound fame
Have made you understand

It's all in the name of getting to
A place where you feel like you're something
You, silly little man

You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now

Now I think I understand
What the old man meant
Sitting at the kitchen table
With his head between his hands

Chew what you can't swallow
Then spit it on the ground
Smiles stop the screaming
'Til your time comes around

My, how you have changed
You, silly little man
Now everybody loves you
For reasons you don't understand

It was all in the name of getting you
The things you knew that you had coming
You, fucking, stupid silly little man

You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now
You're with the beautiful people now
