Vanity
That vampire of society
Which breeds on love and loyalty
The cause of man's diversity
Such is the curse of vanity
Vanity, vanity vanity
The absence of sincerity
Bitter pill, bitter pill of reality
The primrose path to irony
Of what I speak is vanity
Vanity, vanity, vanity
Bewitching gypsy of despair
Of her admiration - beware!
Mistress to wrath and tyranny
Those bearers of catastrophe
Like Earth's divided from the sea
It separates you, my brother, from me
She's the ballad of hypocrisy
Of what I speak is vanity
Vanity, vanity, vanity
