Analysis of That Guy:
Gain a little self control I say!
I can't help being formed this way.
No matter how hard I try?
I try... I really do try
To not be what who I am today.
I can't blame you for my ugly truth.
Cry! Cry! Cry!
I wish I could deny
As long as the Nile
Cozy as a crocodile.
My deeds could be wicked even
And still there'd be no purchased reason.
My smile, my style, my while and profile.
A lapse of time seeking more from within mine eye.
Even more if I specify...
I testify!
... I can not lie.
Beauty is not within the eye.
It's stimulai
And WHY I'm cracked up to be ...
THAT GUY
