  37 Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt,
  38
  39 Because he has denied himself the things that you can't live without.
  40
  41 Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do,
  42
  43 Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin' through.

  56 Stop your conversation when he passes on the street,
  57 Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won't that be sweet
  58 Because he can't be exploited by superstition anymore
  59 Because he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore.

  68 When the whip that's a-keeping you in line doesn't make him jump,
  69 Say he's hard-of-hearin', say that he's a chump.
  70 Say he's out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
  71 Because he doesn't pay tribute to that king that you serve.

  80 Say that he's a loser 'cause he got no common sense
  81 Because he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense.
  82 Because he's not afraid of trying, say he's got no style,
  83 'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's failed to make you smile.

  92 You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games,
  93 You think that when you rest at last you'll go back from where you came.
  94 But you've picked up quite a story and you've changed since the womb.
  95 What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
