Pride and Shame
Ten Foot Pole

Is there something more I just can't see?

I've been so busy trying every day to make ends meet

Been such a long time

Since I stopped to smell the coffee

Now I wonder: can I tell the forest from the trees?

I know that I feel pride and I know that I fear shame

I know I want you to smile when you hear my name

Seems like a silly game

But I know I play it harder than anything

I feel alone

There's people everywhere

Some of these people even care

Once in a while you find someone who really cares

But I'm too busy to give them what they need

It's not greed, it's the fear of failure

It keeps me going

But when tomorrow comes, there's always something more

And I can't stop working long enough

To wonder what life's for

What is it for?

Am I just a whore?

Who am I working for?
