Up in The World

You've come up in the world and it's all to your credit
You made something of your life like you always said you would
But whatever happened to the girl I used to know
And all those halcyon days of love

You've come up in the world and it's such a shame
You made a success of a dream but it seems so empty now
With your weak excuses and your condescending ways
And all too frequent nights alone

I've come down in the world and it's all to your credit
You made something of my life but you've thrown it all away
For your books and your fancy talk, your new found friends and all
Your theories on mankind and society
