Elvis Costello
"We Despise You"

Hey you! Are you looking at me?
Don't waste your time
'Cos 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 'til 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
Too old to be so frightened
And too scared to tell the truth
You lie in teenage anguish
Which you can no longer blame upon 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 as we analyze you
We despise you
But we can't help you now

We despise you
We despise you
We despise you
We despise you
