You're doing everything your people said to

I'd hate to be the one to break it to you 
        D               C        
It's only sad 'cause it's true 
F# 
They misled you when they bred you

Somebody said some things they have no right to 
F#                      B                       E 
Somehow it stuck and you were known as someone who

Could simply not follow through if they have to

Fools and charlatans, since they may get wise

People who could buy and sell you 
E               B 
Sharing a joke that they will never tell you 
D               A 
You think you're dialed in, someone has to win 
E               B 
And you know what that means 
                                D 
That means someone's got to lose 
                A       E           B     F# 
It's probably you, oh, it's probably you, oh

And if it were, you'd be in no position  
        D               C               F# 
To get them to listen to you if you had to

Not even if your life depended on it
