Elvis Costello
We Despise You
Hey you! Are you looking at me?
Don't waste your time
Cause I know your crime
And I know that pose
And the lines around your eyes don't show
When your face is in repose
The skin is tightening
As you touch a nerve
Did you get what you paid for
Or did you only get what you deserve?
Go home, go home, go home, go home
And don't come out again
Until we tell you to
Until we say you can
Go home, go home, go home, go home
And don't come out again
'Till we analyze you
We despise you
But we can't help you now
The sins visit on your face
As you think about that cul-de-sac
And the wit you lack
And the slanders you repeat
When I don't fall at your feet
To old to be so frightened
And too scared to tell the truth
You lie in teenage anguish
But you can no longer blame it on your youth
Go home, go home, go home, go home
And don't come out again
Until we tell you to
Until we say you can
Go home, go home, go home, go home
And don't come out again
'Till we analyze you
We despise you
But we can't help you now
We despise you
