Don\'t inflate me with your praise
I will fly up like
Hydrogen balloons!
When I fly higher and higher
The gas in me will expand
And I burst in that strange zone!

Please don\'t inflate my ego
With words of praise!
Your curse and neglect
May stick me to this earth
The roughness, heat and cold
Of this soil
May soothe my soul!

In every word of praise
There is a plan
To fulfil the wish of someone!
A crooked way to cheat,
So please leave me alone
Let me live in pease!
