Somebody said some things they have no right to
F#                            B                 E
Somehow it stuck and you were known as someone who
             A       G# G               F#
Could simply not follow through if they have to
But you have to, don't you?

All the also-rans are real nice guys
    F#
But only cream and bastards rise

D                A
People who could buy and sell you
E                             B
Sharing a joke that they will never tell you
D                       A                   E

That means someone's got to lose

It's not a race, it's not a competition
F#                          B
And if it were, you'd be in no position
E              A      G# G          F#
To get them to listen to you if you had to
F#
Not even if your life depended on it

You don't have to be a genius
