[ Featuring Ugly ]
In a courtyard, greeted by a clamour of hands
To tell a story about a story teller
Then he began
An individual in the crowd caused him pause answering his phone
But anyway, this is the way the story goes
In the theater, welcomed by a round of applause
A fellow sits on that stage alone
He tells his tales of what he has seen on the road
He talks of faith, he talks of the world he knows
He tells us a story of the seeds he sows
Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories
Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories
Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories
You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories
Finally now, ready to start again
Given the chance he knows his words will ring
But just as he begins to weave
Half the crowd gets up and they start to leave
But in the story, deep into his tale they begin to see
What one man can do to many
But true power lies with the men who stand with men
And if you're not greedy you'll reap the reward within
Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories
Tellin' a story about a guy tellin' a story about a guy that tells stories
Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories
You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories
Dust settles what's left is a loyal few
If you were there, would one of them be you
Bear witness to the greatest tale since I don't know when
Cuz without this one no others could have been
Power don't know no reasonable debate
Just take a look at the state of the state
When the corrupted are the ones we trusted
And we fight so hard with all the strength we can muster
And we don't want to cheat one another
We keep tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories
Tellin' stories about the guys tellin' stories about the guys that tell stories
Don't deprive the rest of the best just keep tellin' those stories
You'll get in a mess if you don't tell the rest of your stories
