when you don’t pay the piper, the piper gets peeved
when your get up and go, decides to leave
when your superman dreams are just christopher reeve
it’s a drag being yourself
when you put off till tomorrow, what you needed last year
and the finish is still far tho you’re cranked in high gear
you’re raging at the storm like a junior king lear
it’s a drag being yourself
you’re too close to yourself to be objective
the changes you need you can find with a different perspective
is there an answer in the tea leaves or horoscopes
does the list of things to do start to feel like a rope
does it feel like its getting too crazy to cope
it’s a drag being yourself
but if you’re not you, who else will do the job
there’s no one more qualified, not Jerry Phil or Bob
you still can do it better than any old slob
it’s a good fit to be yourself
So the piper will be paid sooner or later, you’ll see
And your get up and go doesn’t just get up and leave
So you’re not superman, you might be Christopher reeve
Its’ ok to be yourself
