The Ego is a Funny Thing

The Ego is a funny thing
Tell you what you want to hear
Have you grinning from ear to ear
It'll assure you of everything

It'll drive you to achieve
Make you look cool, Make you look mean
The ego's got a plan
It's going to teach what to believe

It's going to show you what you need to know
Don't listen to what others say
Don't worry I'll guide the way'
Have you looking like a fool, while you're feeling cool

You need some money, I'll teach you greed
Dress the part show the illusion
Do a little dance, have a little drink
Laugh and cheat and think its ok

Need a date, first you got to play the game
Put you in a fancy car
Wear shades to hide your eyes
protect you from being recognized

You're in control or at least you think you are
Opinionated to the core
Ego dipping, forever tripping
Hand waving finger flipping

The ego's a funny thing
It'll miss-lead you in every way
Then call you a friend
Confuse you and do all over again

Have you fighting with all your friends
Like a game without an end
It's that demon in your mind
it wants to control you every time

(Verse 1 repeat)
The Ego is a funny thing
Tell you what you want to hear
Have you grinning from ear to ear
It'll assure you of everything

Doesn't matter if its night or day
Cause the ego wants to play
Always laughing when you're thinking
Right or wrong it cant be swayed, but jaded
