Boss

(album: Foolishman - 2017)

I can only assume
That the way that you're behaving is because you lacked love as a child
Your elephant in the room is fed and watered
When it should've been left alone in the wild

I would love for this to not be an issue
I would love to just laugh in your face
But I'm finding it hard to dismiss you
When you're the one running the place

We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost

It's a complicated system, I know
But it ain't a lack of ability
That's causing the show there to rain and take a turn for the worse
And it's not the fact that you find no time to rehearse

I know that every move is intended
To find ways of protecting your own
And knew that so many depended
On decisions we'd never condone

We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost

(Do, do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do)

What's your motivation, what's your raison d'être
With any other vocation, you wouldn't affect
Even a quarter of the people you do
Now you make the rules, and you break them too

Well I can feel the tide, and it's turning (Keep it turning, keep it turning)
You're already wading, waist-deep
And while you think you're still leading with earnings
Steal the title you're so desperate to keep

We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost
