What Makes You Oh So Sure?
What Makes You Oh So Sure?â¦
What makes you oh so sure that youâve got something that I need?
It makes me ill to look at all your selfishness and greed.
Standing like you think you very nearly own your world â
Who is your current hero, then, and why is she the best?
As if everyone around you ought to be at your behest.
What makes you oh so sure that you really are that good?
Who is it that is groveling now to you?
Standing like you think that everyone should notice you â
Thinking of the right way in every single thing you do.
With your feet turned out and your wrists turned down;
Your lips turned in and your watch turned round.
Are your eyes shut tight and your mind turned off â
As you chew your gum like some Mafia Toff.
What is it that you think that your are doing?
Whoâs your hero â why is she the best?
As you stand the way some idol did â
In some long lost ancient film screen test â
Expecting all the looks and the chances too -
With one foot pointing North and the other pointing Westâ¦
