I saw on the poster   my name was printed   just a little bit smaller   I can tell you need to stand   just a little bit taller   no one ever talks about it   but no one can disguise   the cloud of competition   that's hanging behind their eyes   there's more bad blood   in this bar than there is beer   and it's subtle but it still sucks   and I want out of here      we got egos like hairdos   they're different every day   depending on how we slept the night before   depending on the demons that are at our door      they told me you wanted to play last   every profession has its system of castes   so they reverse the order we go on   and then you stand at the bar   and you talk through my songs      we've got egos like hairdos   they're different every day   depending on how we slept the night before   depending on the demons that are at our door      everybody loves the underdog   but no one wants to be him   the press will fatten you up   and then they'll dig their teeth in   it's cool to discover someone   it's hard to support them   everyone is playing life   like it's some stupid sport      we got egos like hairdos   they're different every day   depending on how we slept the night before   depending on the demons that are at our door      I got my kitchen stocked   I got my door unlocked   there're no demons here   and I don't really care   whose name is printed in bigger type   you know I live in a world full of hope   not a world full of hype   I ain't no saint   I help myself to what I need   but I help other people too   y'know I sleep soundly
