[Me] I have always been creative, I don't understand Aspired to be an artist, not a business man [Pride] You need to show your old man you're in control To be successful, you'd sell you own soul! [Me] I've always been respectable, I don't understand I tried to be compassionate, I'm not a ruthless man! [Pride] You need to show them you're superior, you lead the field No one opposes you, all man must yield! [Me] I've always been affectionate, don't understand I really love her, I'm not a heartless man! [Pride] You have no time for commitments, they get in the way Get down to business, there's no time to play! [Reason] You can still change, and right what is wrong [Pride] But can you swallow me, or am I too strong? [Reason] You have to get back now, it's not too late [Pride] It's not like you two resign to your fate [Reason] The loved ones are waiting, break out of you cage [Pride] You have the power, give in to your rage [Reason] Listen to Pride now, for once now he's right [Pride] Listen to Reason, let us be your guide
