You think yourself genuine and virtuous
A beacon of light for all the good people
Good people like you, that is
You're a real shooting star
You pride yourself on being a straight shooter
Straight from your mouth into their heart
And if someone is hurt by your callous words
Well, whose fault is that?
These special snowflakes need to toughen up
Some people have everything they need
Right from the start, pretty in a certain way
Always knowing they're wanted
For some people, it's always the edge of summer
Always hoping that this year will be the year
When everything finally changes for the better
You, amazing, wonderful, virtuous you
Dismiss these wannabe losers
With a sniff and an offhand gesture
You congratulate yourself for your ability
To agitate, to debate, to concentrate your hate
Onto the tip of your poison tongue
I'd rather go blind
Than be anything like you
For even a micro-portion of a nanosecond
You believe your vicious declarations are a gift
Truth straight from a horse's ass
To the hurting hearts of the world's outcasts
So sanctimonious, so contentious
No matter how you beautify the outside
The inside is still corrupt as a decaying casualty
Of your insidious verbal war
Of your insidious verbal war
When your words cause people to hate themselves
To consider suicide rather than live one more day
Among monsters such as you
Among monsters such as you
I submit that you, not they
Are the failure, the loser, the washout
The unwanted, the unneeded, the parasite
Are the failure, the loser, the washout
The unwanted, the unneeded, the parasite
Turn your eyes inside
And judge the real ugliness
That you find in your dead, putrefying soul

Notes:
These words are not directed at any specific individual. They paint a composite portrait, illustrating a certain type of personality: the kind of person who believes in being harshly judgmental and "brutally honest," which, in reality, translates to: "I want a license to behave cruelly. It gives me a sadistic kick to destroy others. I act as if I'm the picture of perfection. In reality, I am covering for my own inferiority complex at the expense of vulnerable people."
