Don't tell me all the shit you've done
How you push your luck with everyone
'Cause you're mean upbringing's left you a mess

Don't tell me all the shit you'd say
If some fool jerked you around that away
You ain't done half of what you confess

That ain't you
As far as I can tell
That ain't you
Although you wear it well
That ain't you
After all
You're just standin' up layin' down straight and tall

Don't tell me that you understand
How to brave the world and be a man
Unless you must convince yourself

Don't tell me I should be like you
I should learn from what you say and do
Don't ask the poor to share the wealth

That ain't you
As far as I can tell
That ain't you
Although you wear it well
That ain't you
After all
You're just standin' up layin' down straight and tall
