Act Right

from The Birdcage by Struwwelpeter

/

lyrics

Sometime you step out of line
You forget yourself
You're lacking stealth
And someday those cute things you say
Will bite you in your ass
You're lacking class

And I'm not one to suffer fools
I'm not one to humor tools
You've already taken this too far
There's a major disparity
Between what you think we see
And who you really are

It's a major conceit, you're what just not to be
It's depressing to see that you think I'd be a fan
Not just to be a piece of shit, but to revel in it
It's amazing to me that you call yourself a man

Somehow people still allow
Your fatuous shit
Too much of it
And somewhere you'll be unprepared
And you'll be out of luck
Until then we're stuck

And if I could be there when you
Realise you're finally through
I would be a happy man indeed
It's not going to last that long
You already know you're wrong
This can't proceed

Real men know how to hold tight
Real men know how to act right

I'll be here to watch the tears
It's unraveling
The day will come when you'll be done
You're just stalling
I'm so tired of being fired up
Over nothing
Because you're nothing
You know you're nothing
Nothing...

And if you think that you're better off this way
Then I've got nothing to say
I'll let you wallow in the bullshit you create
You're an irrelevance and not a lot more
You even up your own score
The day you implode is a day we'll celebrate
