Straight and Tall

[Verse 1]
Don't tell me all the shit you've done
How you push your luck with everyone
'Cause you're mean upbringing's left you a mess

Don't tell me all the shit you'd say
If some fool jerked you around thataway
You ain't done half of what you confess

[Chorus]
That ain't you, as far as I can tell
That ain't you, although you wear it well
That ain't you, after all
You're just standin' up and layin' down straight and tall

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me that you understand
How to brave the world and be a man
Unless you must convince yourself

Don't tell me I should be like you
I should learn from what you say and do
Don't ask the poor to share the wealth

[Chorus]
That ain't you, as far as I can tell
That ain't you, although you wear it well
That ain't you, after all
You're just standin' up and layin' down straight and tall
