We Know All About You

We know all about you since you tell us of how marvelous you are
And of the size of your new home and your brand new car
That you like to show off as you drive up and down
With your attractive blond wife and your young son and daughter on the streets of the town

We know all about you people like you impress
The impressionable aspirational who yearn for material success
But not far from where you live it is sad to say
There are some who are homeless and hungry today

Of your recent material successes you have stories to tell
But you mention the poor as the never do well
And you ignore one fact of human life that with us does remain
That somebody's loss becomes to another a gain

We know all about you since you make sure we do know
That your material assets do grow and do grow
But that material possessions say little of a person you fail to realize
In any case this is not any surprise

We know all about you since you make sure we do
your main topic of conversation it is always you
And the size of your home and your swimming pool and your brand new car
You do let us know of how marvelous you are.
