Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by Irish writer Oscar Wilde. A shorter novella-length version was published in the July 1890 issue of the American periodical Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. The novel-length version was published in April 1891. The story revolves around a portrait of Dorian Gray painted by Basil Hallward, a friend of Dorian's and an artist infatuated with Dorian's beauty. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton and is soon enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfillment are the only things worth pursuing in life.

Well you tell me, Take it easy. Things ain’t so bad
You got your hands in my pockets takin’ everything I ever had
All I ever had
Well you say I should be grateful to be getting by
You hypocrite I’m getting tired of listening to your damned lies
All of your damned lies
Well you keep pretending that you’ve got it so rough
You’re gonna have to do better cause it just ain’t good enough
That ain’t good enough
Well you tell me, Take it easy ‘cause the check’s in the mail
But instead of writing checks they oughta throw you righ in jail
In a deep dark jail
The faces are different but the story’s the same
You wanna take all the credit, but you sure won’t take the blame
Someone else is to blame
Well I’m tired of your double-speak, your bluster and your bluff
You’re gonna have to do better cause it just ain’t good enough
That ain’t good enough
It’s the usual suspects and the same old lies
But the truth will come out and it’ll cut you down to size
Cut you down to size
You wouldn’t last a minute in a working man’s shoes
So you better watch your back because the man, he’s got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Well you’re strutting around like you’re so damned tough
You’re gonna have to do better cause it just ain’t good enough
That ain’t good enough
