Empty Vessel

After a few drinks in the evening with his pub mates in the bar He brags about his new home and about his brand new car And about his job promotion and his huge raise in pay And they seem quite impressed with him boasting for some works okay. The volume of his voice it raise a little 'twould seem with every beer Till everyone in the bar-room can't help but overhear Him boasting of his greatness of which he makes us all aware But for his hour of self promotion I wish he'd go elsewhere. Of the not so good side to him he never does relate Of the unmanly things about ourselves we would not tell our mate He does not realize yet that his secret is out That he goes home each evening and knocks his wife about. He is seen as successful in many peoples eyes But many can be gullible and not what you'd call wise Material things impress them yet they fail to realize That the most empty vessel does make the most of noise.
