hoity-toity

oh you've got all the answers
and you never take the blame
i guess it makes life easier
when you never feel no shame
the hearts you break, the lies you tell
convince yourself they're true
you never put me on a pedestal
oh, but you made one just for you
and you climbed up, hoity-toity
and you issue your decrees
as you look down on us peons
picture us on bended knees
and we all should sing your praises
cuz you never meant no harm
though you set light to the theater
and you shut off the alarm
i was burned but now recovered
all your smoke has left my lungs
and i finally learned my lesson
yes, i learned that done was done
but it's okay for i am gone now
off your road of good intentions
and this poem is irrelevant
you really shouldn't rate a mention
so off into my sunset
with those who do not mind
a difference of opinion
those who are both nice and kind
or walk the road alone awhile
still in better company
than when you walked beside me
dictating how i should be
