<poem> | |||
When I'm dead | |||
It will be read | |||
"Here Lies The Public Image" | |||
5 percent human being | |||
And 95 image | |||
What you see is what you get | |||
And what you get may well be worth seeing | |||
But just be careful when you walk | |||
On those old broken stones | |||
Because they are my feelings | |||
If I smile | |||
Do not be swayed | |||
I simply serve the public image | |||
When all have gone | |||
Just one remains | |||
Thank God for the public image | |||
What you see is what you get | |||
And what you get may well be worth seeing | |||
But just be careful when you walk | |||
On those old broken stones | |||
Because they are my feelings | |||
Scrape beneath | |||
The surface and | |||
You will find more public image | |||
I used to have | |||
A childish dream | |||
Until I had it kicked from me | |||
I tried to pass myself off | |||
As a Human being | |||
But the truth soon exposed me | |||
I had a love and she was very kind | |||
But she was no match for the Public Image | |||
What you see is all there is | |||
And what there is may well be worth seeing | |||
But just be careful what you say | |||
About people like me | |||
Because we don't take it lightly | |||
