| You’re doing everything your people said to,
|
| I’d hate to be the one to break it to you,
|
| It’s only sad 'cause it’s true,
|
| They misled you when they bred you.
|
| Somebody said some things they had no right to,
|
| Somehow that stuck and you were known as someone who,
|
| Could simply not follow through if they had to,
|
| But you have to, don’t you?.
|
| You don’t have to be a genius,
|
| But it helps to, it helps to,
|
| Fools and charlatans they may get wise,
|
| But only cream and bastards rise,
|
| Yeah, you can see it in their eyes.
|
| You follow good advices to the letter,
|
| You know your friend, he’s doing so much better than you,
|
| Are ever likely to do, he’ll eclipse you,
|
| But he will not miss you.
|
| You don’t have to be a genius,
|
| But it helps to, it helps to,
|
| All the also-rans are real nice guys,
|
| But only cream and bastards rise.
|
| People who could buy and sell you,
|
| Sharing a joke that they will never tell you,
|
| You think you’re dialled in, someone has to win,
|
| And you know what that means,
|
| It means someone’s got to lose,
|
| It’s probably you, oh whoa ho ho ho,
|
| It’s probably you, oh whoa ho ho ho.
|
| It’s not a race, it’s not a competition,
|
| And if it were, you’d be in no position to,
|
| Get them to listen to you if you had to,
|
| Not even if your life depended on it!
|
| You don’t have to be a genius,
|
| But it helps to, it helps to,
|
| Some are aliens, the rest are spies,
|
| But only cream and bastards rise,
|
| Yeah, you can see it in their ah, ha, ha, ha,
|
| Ah, ha, ha, ha,
|
| Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha,
|
| Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha,
|
| Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha,
