lyrics

Who is this guy anyway?
The one who looks like Beetle Bailey
Munching on that crudité
Is this the guy that’s supposed to save me?

Been pogo sticking round the Valley
For half my life it almost seems
Five years coming up with verbs
To yell at lunches
A year to fire off my team

Oh, you might as well stick me up at a stoplight
Turn me over, pat me down
If you think that you’re so tough
If you think you haven’t had enough
If you think that you’re my diamond in the rough

For me it’s chump change
Don’t feel ashamed that this went south so quick
You anted up to lose the pot
You ever known pipe dreams to stick?

It hurts me too man, I got a family
What will those monsters think of me?
Twisting on the hose for you, then some other poor recruits
Living out some swindler’s dream

But you might as well stick me up at a spotlight
Turn me over, pat me down
If you think that you’re so tough
If you think you haven’t had enough
If you think that you’re my diamond in the rough
