From the recording Useless Words
Lyrics
Got some questions, need some answers
Need more answers than Jeopardy
Got me a date with the Magic 8 Ball
But I’m starting to think that it’s messin’ with me
The fonts of wisdom and usual sources
Lack my sense of urgency
Let’s cut the crap and skip the séance
Get it straight from the authority
But the man in the mirror, he ain’t talkin’
The man in the mirror got nothing to say
Cat’s got his tongue, you’ll get no advising
From the man in the mirror today
Got no need to be informed of what
Four out of five doctors recommend
See no point in writing Dear Abby
She’s only gonna smack me down again
Think it’s time to cut my losses
Think it’s time to stop foolin’ around
I’ll eat my pride and take my troubles to
The only sage who won’t let me down
But the man in the mirror, he ain’t talkin’
The man in the mirror got nothing to say
Cat’s got his tongue, you’ll get no advising
From the man in the mirror today
Could use a bit of plain perspective
Drink a dose of reality
Benefit from simple insight
What it takes to make a man of me
I’m done with experts and opinions
Confidants who come and go
I’ll take a number and get some wisdom
From the only oracle that I know
But the man in the mirror, he ain’t talkin’
The man in the mirror got nothing to say
Cat’s got his tongue, you’ll get no advising
From the man in the mirror today
