I Deny That

She said I was lazy, shiftless and full of greed
I had no respect for religion or any of the powers that be
I was despondent, disengaged, disinterested and bored 
But, when she said I drank myself stupid, I protested from the floor

Chorus:
I deny that
It’s a lie, that
What you say is not relevant in any way
There’s no truth in your accusatory display
I was pushed, I didn’t know, I didn’t see, it wasn’t clear
I couldn’t tell, I didn’t hear, something broke, I couldn’t steer
It wasn’t me, I had a flat
I deny that

She said I contrary, counter and contrived
I was ugly and mean and just barely civilized
I was in need of exercise, Exlax, stresslax and reason
But, when she called me loud, I yelled back at her treason

Repeat chorus:

She said I was selfish, surly and rude
I was older than younger and should not be seen nude
That I couldn’t possibly believe all the tripe that I spewed
But, when she called me a hypocrite
I choked down two big gulps of self-righteous attitude
Turned up the amplitude and said

Repeat chorus:

I deny what you say, I deny that I said it
I deny that I wrote it, I deny that I read it
I deny I was there, I deny that I’m here
I deny my denial and my conscience is clear
I deny that
I deny that
