i listened intently to what you told me.
i saved up my money and bought what you sold me.
you told me your wisdom was bought from the sages.
then you wrote me a book but you burned all the pages.
you pull my string.
we put on a show just the way that you planned.
you say i'm the bearer of what you believe,
then quietly watch as the first act begins.
i drank myself full on the taste of your cheap wine.
then you bought me a watch so we'd be wasting your time.
