All what you stand for This secure fortress of faithful convictions Inspire me to disbelief So full of yourself, you stare at me and say:
“Hey you killjoy, go away Spare me your objections Stop playing devil’s advocate Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake”
You know what’s right or wrong Jumping to conclusions, so likely to condemn And take a single wise word for eternal truth That’s why you’ll always say:
“Hey you killjoy, go away Spare me your objections Stop playing devil’s advocate Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake”
I just look for something you’ll never grasp A world neither black nor white, a wider definition For nothing is downright pure or completely dark Like myriads of variations for every shade of grey
Once I question your dual pattern You can but whisper, “Don’t challenge me because I am the righteous one” And try to conceal your confusion You wish I‘d walk away So that your small, manicheist [manichest] world would always stay the same
Your second-rate creed is such a dismay
“Hey you killjoy, go away Spare me your objections Stop playing devil’s advocate Please leave me in peace now, for heavens sake”.
