How often have I said
I know better
Or I ought to
And I ought to know better
I am supposed to
I am supposed to be
Educated
Intelligent
Erudite
After all
After all I have done
After all the years I spent
Trying to be the kind of person
Utz suggests I ought to have been
And finding myself turned out from those ivory walls
Expelled from the cells
I am no longer imprisoned
I also ought to know better
Than to think
I know better
Experience shows
I clearly do not
