What does it take

What does it take to knock the arrogance out of a man
What does it take to shake up his false pride
What does it take to remove that ignorant sense of invulnerability
From one who should basically hang his head and hide

How much does it take to make stupid stop
How much does it take to make clever slow down
How much does it take to make half baked fake flakes
Get up and run high pitched screaming from town

How exposed does a mr self important have to get
How embarrassing does a fool have to be
Before the shock waves roll back on him
And rip open his eyes wide enough to see

How much does it take to shake the foundation to the core
And burn down the walls and halls and roof
If only for one flash bang of a moment
If only to get at one brief glimpse of the truth
