Fly,  you greatest fool,
 Why can't you say  what they want you to?
 Why can't you do  what they taught you
 And show  what they wanted of you?
Fly,  you greatest fool,
 Is this what everyone  talked about?
 You spill your  high-flung phrases
D
And hush when the risk gets too much

Swallow it all down
