Egos Like Hairdos |
| 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 |
