TRANSCRIPT
Stop showing off said MozartDon’t be so damned cleverLet me be the clever one I wrote the music
I ransacked heaven for this easeThis effortless simplicity disguised as craftThis transparency that killed me So you can live
Don’t be so bloody artfulAll this innuendoThese hints and insinuationsLet him reveal the aching truthWho wrote the words
He raided the howling tombs of ancient poetsFor these rhymesThese artless echoesOnly resonances too close to pain Can be so funny and so wise
You are our instrumentStretched to breaking pointYou do not have to interpret itOnly live itTrust usWe have done the work for youYou are in safe hands
We were the A teamThe ultra-professionalsWe knew what we were doingSo play your function And stop showing off.
