We are con artists with a remarkable style,

We are con artists with a remarkable style,

We are con artists with a remarkable style,

who first deceive ourselves!

In the market of talent,

we delight in selling ourselves,

In the market of talent,

we delight in selling ourselves,

carrying unnecessary burdens

our entire lives,

we are like wild animals!

We know we are con artists!!

We are con artists with a remarkable style,

In front of our children,

we pretend to be virtuous,

never get bored,

never get tired,

for generations,

we have habitually deceived one another!

Like a fake gem in the ring of life!

We are happy that we are con artists!!

We are con artists with a remarkable style,

We calculate profit and loss even in relationships,

we ponder the usefulness of aging parents,

we are at every step preventing

 the mind from colluding with the heart!

Because we are, at our core, con artists!!

We are con artists with a remarkable stylestyle
