You thought you had a good
grip on reality.
Don't kid yourself.
All those possessions all
designed to set you free.
Don't kid yourself.
Don't kid yourself.
They aren't of any use.
The blues had news for you
The saddest object on the shelf
Don't kid yourself
You thought you could jump into
someone else's skin
Impossible
You thought you had to step
on someone else to win
Well that's possible
But don't kid yourself
There's better things to do
You grew once, now grow again
Oh, your strength's smaller
than an elf
Don't kid yourself
Hey kids,
you've kicked your teeth in
You're the attacker and the victim
These are your wounds,
now go and lick them
Nobody will help
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid yourself
You try to treat somebody
like a photograph
And expose yourself
You try to hide behind the tears
Don't make me laugh
It doesn't help
So don't kid yourself
You're better than the rest
We're all on the second best
And you can be somebody else
Don't kid yourself
You thought you had a good grip on reality,
it just disappeared
You found the world was much more of
a mystery than you had feared
Don't kid yourself that
you're a special case
We all hide behind a face
And you're still just a kid yourself
Don't kid yourself
Yeah, you're still just a kid yourself
Don't kid yourself
Don't kill yourself,
don't kill yourself
