Everyone, everyone
Everyone loves me cause I always lie
I say the things they wanna hear
I do not mind. I don't know why
When they say, in dismay
"Who could have guessed it? Man, you never know"
I shake my head in disbelief
I hate to say "I told you so"
Smile if you wanna smile, if you wanna
Every circus needs a clown
Even so, if you gotta go
Guess you oughta know
That I'm gonna stick around
La la la la
Every time, any time
Anytime anybody needs a friend
The customer is always right
I empathise. I understand
Laugh if you wanna laugh, if you wanna
Hollow as a broken drum
Even when, every now and then
Something you pretend
Doesn't hurt you hurts you some
La la la la
Furious, spurious
Serious people having second thoughts
They can't afford the stuff they bought
They never learned the stuff they taught
Anyway, anyway
Everything is the way it had to be
And oh, what fools these mortals be
It matters some, but not to me
