Too Many Two Faces


Do we all wear/ too many faces/ to stay/ in others' good graces
Do we all want/ so much/ to fit in/ and have many friends
Are we willing to do anything/ say anything/ be anything/ for anyone
Woe is us/ a person for people/ hiding behind/ so many masks
And if you doubt it/ try to get round about/ just wait/ until somebody asks
I wonder/ it you are willing/ to be less/ less like you/ and more like me
Of course/ we never need them to ask/ / if we are quick/ to put on a mask
But this part/ isn't any fun/ how do we choose/ the right one
We wait patiently/ and we listen for cues/ and look for/ his or her views

Each encounter/ you may confess/ is one step forward/ to success
You are not really/ a people pleaser/ you are cunning and calculating/ the best
Too many masks/ to account for/ and right things to say/ make for a stressful day
But then. there is a group/ that can help us win/ and we fit in
A group/ that wears/ the same opinions/ interests/ masks and clothes
Every one/looks alike/ well sort of/ different heights/ and faces
They may come/ from different places/ and maybe/ different races
They may have/ more or less children/ but that's as far/ as it goes

We don't have/ to fill out any forms/ just follow our group's norms
And remember/ if Joe or Suzy/ gets fired/ their membership/ is retired
We may keep boozers/ addicts/ and carousers/ but we don't/ tolerate losers
All that glad to see you/ let's do what we all do/ we are true blue
All ends/ and suddenly/ in shock/ needy/ we are told/ to take a walk
The party/ is over/ and we won't ever/ be invited/ to another
Suddenly/ a frown is replaced/ by a grin/ and we are/ourselves once again
