What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
2
And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
3
And you live in the past or a dream that you're in
4
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin.
5
And you want to be held with highest regard
6
It delights you so much if he's trying so hard
7
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways
8
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche.
9
'Cause emotionally you're the same basic trip
10
And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped
11
So don't try to impress me, you're just pins and paint
12
And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't.
13
And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress
14
'Cause a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
15
So measure for measure reflect on my said
16
And when I won't see you then measure it dead.
17
'Cause don't you understand, and don't you look about
18
I'm trying to take nothing from you
19
So why should you act so put out for me?
