The Dummy In The House

i leave a note in the house
you keep it by heart

when someone looks for me
tell them that i am away

i am the master of the house
you are the good servant

when i tell lies
you must keep these lies as truths

if i tell you that i am one of the gods
tell them and insist on the truth of my assertion

and when i am dead
and when finally you are free

find another one
for you will always be the dummy of the century
