Kids In Glass Houses - Reputation lyrics

What you lack in general knowledge You make up in general nonsense You lied to me about where you went to college We argue, you sit on the fence Cause you lack the strength of conviction To make up in your arguments You lack the grace and the courage To make up with most of your friends They'll never doubt a word you say Oh you'll make it early just to see the day They'll never doubt a thing, no way So you'll wake up early and you dig your grave Building your reputation Seems like your occupation Your reputation Your biggest preoccupation What you lack in tact and diplomacy Only adds to your appeal You lied to me about all that you've accomplished You say you invented the wheel And you've got your finger, it's bandaged So feel it on the pulse of the trend But you lack the strength of conviction To make up with most of your friends They'll never doubt a word you say Oh you'll make it early just to see the day They'll never doubt a thing, no way So you'll wake up early and you dig your grave Building your reputation Seems like your occupation Your reputation Your biggest preoccupation And I keep you close to my heart if you Just stay away forever Rip the clothes off of my back and send Me into stormy weather They'll never doubt a word you say Oh you'll make it early just to see the day They'll never doubt a thing, no way So you'll wake up early and you dig your grave Building your reputation Seems like your occupation Your reputation Your biggest preoccupation And I keep you close to my heart if you Just stay away forever Rip the clothes off of my back and send Me into stormy weather
