When he does not know something he uses tricks and humor to hide his silence.
When people listen to my stories
He starts to get a little angry
He's an expert in his own categories
But on the big stuff, he stares blankly

Still determined to remain
At the center of attention
He uses humor and disdain
To hide his lack of comprehension

Smart clothes, lots of money
He wants all the praise
And so we become unfunny
He draws us into his silent malaise
