Paul Weller Porcelain Gods lyrics

Beware false Prophets take a stand
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
More advice to fill up your head
More empty words from the livin' dead
Who seek to explain what can't really be said

How disappointed I was
To turn out after all?
Just a Porcelain God
That shatters when it falls
(Shatters)

Too much will kill you, too little ain't enough
You shout my name but I'll call your bluff
Most who see me, see me not for real
We fake and fawn, play games 'til dawn
But I could see, what you can see
And I hate too, what you hate in me

How disappointed I am
To find me part of no plan?
Just a Porcelain God
That shatters when it falls

(Shatters)
Yeah
Hmm
Hmm

I shake it off and start again
"Don't lose control" I'll tell myself
Life can take many things away
Some people will try and take it all
Yeah, they'll pick off pieces
They watch you crawl

How disappointed I was
To turn out after all?
Just a Porcelain God
That shatters when it falls
Shatters when it falls, yea, yea

Beware false prophets take a stand
My fortune cookie cracked up in my hand
