The man behind the bar said he could tell what any man was like

Just by looking at him.

Well he got me wrong.

He thinks I am nothing,

Just like you do.

He said he is never wrong.

Well, perhaps he’s right;

Based on your beliefs.

Like you think anyone who doesn’t drink beer

Is a loser.

Like you think that anyone who doesn’t speak up

Has nothing to say.

Like you think I’m nothing.

Get a life.

You say.

You mean,

Be like me.

You think anyone who’s not like you

Has no life.

Get a life,

You say.

Because you think I am nothing?

I am not nothing.
