wrap your words around my head
when what you really mean
is nothing close to what you've said
and nothing's as it seems
and money is a power play
and friendship can be bought
and you pretend you're everything
that you are clearly not
and now I'm growing weary
of your principled convictions
using up my patience
'cause nobody else will listen
but what I hear is double speak
in language that's unclear
and words that try to cover
that you're governed by your fear
now my time's been wasted
and my threshold has been tested
'cause ego's the commodity
in which you are invested
and you'll cast the first stone
just to avoid being rejected
but all your wealth can't change the fact
that you are not respected
