Complete Honesty

Lyrics
Jung had a tremendous humor And he knew That nobody can be completely honest You will try and have a great deal of success Exploring your motivation and your dark unconscious depths That nobody can be completely honest You will try and have a great deal of success But there will be a certain point at which you will say "Well I've had enough of that," you know? And do you see how in a strange way there’s a certain sanity in that? When a person indulges in a certain kind of duplicity of deception There is something, you all laughed when I said that, there's something humorous about it And this humor is [a] very funny thing Basically humor is an attitude of laughter about ones self There is malicious humor, which is laughing at other people But real deep humor Is laughter at ones self Now why fundamentally do you laugh about yourself? What makes you laugh about yourself? Isn't it because you know that there is a big difference between what goes on the outside and what goes on the inside? That if I hint You see, that you’re inside is the opposite of your outside it makes people laugh, if I don't do it unkindly If I get up in the attitude of a preacher And say you're a bunch of miserable sinners and you ought to be different Nobody laughs But if I say “Well, after all, boys will be boys, and girls will be girls,” We all know, then, people laugh
