Wounded Pride Lyrics

Wounded Pride

As a rich young boy he was mesmerized

By the clout that he had from his dad

And he recognized he could do what he pleased

And just enjoy the ride cause his future was already made

Oh and that young boy grew up and he magnified

All the deals he supposedly sealed though he mostly lied

And ignored all the rules that did not coincide

With the fantasy world where he played

Yes he played and told himself that he was not afraid

And then his his life moved on he identified

As a man who would fight day and night

When those lawyers tried to sniff out the truth that he had falsified

But he never betrayed his charade

Ooh I wonder what would it have taken just to help him heal

To step out of the shadows and then reveal

That scared little boy who must always be strong

Must always be right and never be wrong never wrong

In the end he refused just to step aside

In the fight he ignited a fuse and many people died

And we were not amused with the tricks he tried

So we showed him the door and we prayed

Yes we prayed that he had gone away to stay

And yet he keeps on shouting from the side

He goes on not to be denied

No he can't quit he just can't let it slide

Cause there's nowhere to run from his wounded pride

Cause there's nowhere to hide from his wounded pride

Oh he's under the gun with his wounded pride

And he's been outdone by his wounded pride
