Son Of A Prophet

All your hangers on 
Watch with anxious eyes 
Watch your mouth to speak 
Words mystic and wise 

Can you explain away everything I know to be true? 
Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you? 
Anything about you 

Wash your nervous hands 
Speak and only lie 
Dismiss distances 
Between you and I 

Can you explain away everything that I know to be true? 
Will you flinch if I criticize anything about you? 
Anything about you 

Preacher's only son 
Wise man's only tie 
Scorned by anyone 
With an evil eye
