Day Fourteen: Pride Lyrics - The Human Equation - Ayreon

[Me] I have always been creative, I don't understand 

Aspired to be an artist, not a business man 

[Pride] You need to show your old man you're in control 

To be successful, you'd sell you own soul! 

[Me] I've always been respectable, I don't understand 

I tried to be compassionate, I'm not a ruthless man! 

[Pride] You need to show them you're superior, you lead the field 

No one opposes you, all man must yield! 

[Me] I've always been affectionate, don't understand 

I really love her, I'm not a heartless man! 

[Pride] You have no time for commitments, they get in the way 

Get down to business, there's no time to play! 

[Reason] You can still change, and right what is wrong 

[Pride] But can you swallow me, or am I too strong? 

[Reason] You have to get back now, it's not too late 

[Pride] It's not like you two resign to your fate 

[Reason] The loved ones are waiting, break out of you cage 

[Pride] You have the power, give in to your rage 

[Reason] Listen to Pride now, for once now he's right 

[Pride] Listen to Reason, let us be your guide
