The Self Sufficient Man

Talk your talk, oh idle man
You walk and live as best you can
You play a part and go along
Like there's no greater plan.

You sit in high seats of government,
Or enthroned at the local bar,
You talk as if you knew it all,
When the truth is,
You are so far.

You say you have no use at all
For king or faith or creed
Yet are swift to cry out Oh God
When you find yourself in need.

Oh man, so proud,
So infinitely wise,
You fail to see the simple truth
Lying right before your eyes.
