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
