Hypocrite

Don't cringe or whine
You little swine!

You're scared of the Truth
With all the cowardice of modern Youth,

But when you're old
You won't be bold,

You'll always live a total Lie,
You'll always have an alibi,

So go to Hell!
The world can't bear your sickly smell!

You're drowning in your Wishing Well
And I hear the tolling of the bell.
