Who are you? What are you? Is that what you really believe? Stare into the mirror. Then answer me! Morals, ethics, and opinions; Go with them I know you must. When I question 'bout them All I hear is the shattering of a bust! With the noose and straight jacket gone Away flew the porcelain dust. Just one question, I must. Underneath that shirt and tie Was there ever really a guy? Of course the was... At one time. But he evaporated into the sky! Pure beliefs, Like those had by old Phoebe Are evaporated same as water; Only...by society!
