| 作词 : Hammill | |
| I said steady up, settle down, make way for the Idiot Boy. | |
| He's here to sell you some kind of a story; | |
| like a stuck-up sore thumb he'll be coming on bashful and coy, | |
| all of the while pumping up his vainglory. | |
| I said give it up, slap it down, idolise the Idiot Boy; | |
| love's what he wants, or at least some attention | |
| and he believes all the hype... | |
| like an archetypal Geijin-cum-goy | |
| he plays up the Alien Genius Pretension. | |
| He'd fake his own confession to get you on his side. | |
| Oh, I say lighten up, calm it down, time out for His Idiocy now. | |
| What's going to happen when the audience dwindles? | |
| The tide's out, the ride's up, the world's got no comfort somehowö | |
| truth to tell, it'll be himself that he's swindled | |
| in a broken-down profession of over-weaning pride. | |
| Nowhere to hide... | |
| Heaven sent compliments that were meant sincerely fall flat | |
| and the bitterest pill is the one he can't swallow. | |
| The idiotic thing is what we have always known: | |
| however great success is, however far you've flown | |
| you'll come to face this audience: | |
| yourself, yourself alone. | |
| You'll come to face yourself alone, | |
| you idiot, idiot boy! |
