Up In the World

You've come up in the world and it's all to your credit

You made something of your life like you always said you would

But whatever happened to the girl I used to know

And all those halcyon days of loveYou've come up in the world and it's such a shame

You made a success of a dream but it seems so empty now

With your weak excuses and your condescending ways

And all too frequent nights aloneI've come down in the world and it's all to your credit

You made something of my life but you've thrown it all away

For your books and your fancy talk, your new found friends and all

Your theories on mankind and society
