the songs you sing are simple
all you need's a little
band behind you wailing
guitars and drums flailing
otherwise you sound fine, she said
and everyone's a critic

those books that you've been writin'
looking to enlighten
all the world needs fixin'
your should write about Nixon
then they'll sell, you'll do well, he said
and everyone's a critic

this life you live is crazy
isolated, lazy
you should find a woman
you should try good groomin'
can't you hear? to the mirror I said
and everyone's a critic

this universe we spin in
doomed from the beginning
everyone will suffer
everyone will die here
what a job, you did God, we cry
and everyone's a critic
