Don't be like me

I've been around since the greeks
but i've shrunk since then, bone depletion
my caretakers don't give me meat
i don't get enough protein
since i became a vegetarian
I may look weak though i never lose strength
I've got more knowledge than I'll ever need
I think to much
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me

Everyone wants me
i only want the best
only those who have learned to express their thoughts
in a universal way
that everyone can understand
everyone who is anyone, anyway
i've got more knowledge than I'll ever need
I think too much
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me

I'll take your young and talented
I don't want the old and decrepid
the world can't be run by losers
I'm sorry, that's how it is
not everyone deserves a paycheck
run to the front or you're pushed to the back
i've got more knowledge than i'll ever need
I think too much
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me

My towers represent strength and history
my hallways for integrity and truth
it will do you good to follow my way
if you have enough money you can stay
i'll build something in your name
like a fountain or a statue
i've got more knowledge than I'll ever need
I think too much
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me

The business world takes my advice
even those who don't trust me think twice
about leaving me out of their life
because I hold a heavy hand
I get more cards every day
it will be like this until I say
I've got more knowledge than I'll ever need
I think too much
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
don't be like me
