Disdain

x
You are so above me. I know that's what you think.
It is so apparent; you treat me like I stink.
You can deny it all you want to but your face reveals your DISDAIN!

I am so beneath you according to your mind
Though you try to pretend its nothing of the kind.
You can bullshit me all you want to but you cannot hide your DISDAIN!

--------------------------

You think I'm a slob 'cause my job requires me
to bust my ass, break my back, get my hands dirty

But I think you might be quite surprised to see
I got a house with a backyard and a couple of white birch trees.

I got a good life, a pretty wife, a family
A bunch of neices and nephews who all adore me

So before you make that mistake and misjudge me
Go take a look at yourself. Do you like what you see?

-----------------------------------

You don't have to like me. I just want you to admit.
The way you really see me, you're such a hypocrite!

I know you set me low, so low on yer totem pole
I may not have a lot, but AT LEAST I HAVE A SOUL!

You stand and smirk and smugly smoke your cigarette!
Self-righteous and superior...

You're scared to death of me, ain'tcha?

-----------------------------------------

Why do you DISDAIN me? Why do you DISDAIN me?
Just because you have a better job, yer no better than me!
Just because you wear expensive clothes, yer no better than me!
Just because you drive a nicer car, yer no better than me!
Just because you have an attitude, yer no better than me!
Why do you DISDAIN me? Why do you disdain me?
