Baby, You're A Con Man

Yes I so wish to be
One of the beautiful people;
No one can know who I am
My life is one long scam.

"Have you taken your lies very far?"
Far as the eye can see;
Yes I so wish to be
One of the beautiful people.

"Have you seen in your mirror?"
Often enough to know;
"What did you see when you were there?"
Nothing I can let show.

They think I'm a rich man!
They think I'm a smart man!
And a businessman, it's true!
Hiding my real face in a big brown bag
Like winners do
That's what we do!

Yes I so wish to be
One of the beautiful people!

If your whole life is rot
But others think it is not;
Then you need never change!
No matter how you get strange!

Born a natural liar
I burn with my pants on fire!
But I'm happy when I find
I can live inside your mind!

They think I'm a rich man!
They think I'm a smart man!
And a businessman, it's true!
Hiding my real face in a big brown bag
Like winners do
That's what they do!
