False Alarms

You’re always giving false alarms
Making your living
Twisting my arm
Burning my light bulb
At both ends
Changing your meaning
If it offends …
You’re like a dinosaur
You need a cigarette
You never close the door
You’re always getting wet
You never take the risk
You always give advice
You know I can’t resist
You’ve got me hypnotised …
You’re always talking
Making a noise
Playing the white man
One of the boys
Making me nervous
Bending my ear
Making your purpose
Perfectly clear …
You’re always planning
Some new campaign
Making investments
And keeping the change
Forcing the issue
Faking the charm
You’re always giving
False alarms …
