Lyrics

Smooth out all the jagged edges, polish up the act
Easier to make them laugh when not bound by the facts
Or subtle niceties like discretion or tact
These days, who has the time for that?

Small fish, small pond
Never mind the people that you?ve conned
Too bad you never saw the ocean or beyond
Small fish, small pond

Build up your pathetic empire, fill it up with lies
Never say you?ve made mistakes and never compromise
Under no circumstance should you apologize
Don?t do a thing but criticize

Small fish, small pond
Never mind the people that you?ve conned
Too bad you never saw the ocean or beyond
Small fish, small pond

Everyone remembers high school, most everyone survives
Everyone has gotten on with living their own lives
They?re all quite happy with the places they?ve arrived
But inside you old hatred thrives

Small fish, small pond
Never mind the people that you?ve conned
Too bad you never saw the ocean or beyond
Small fish, small pond
