Ani Difranco - Egos Like Hairdos текст песни

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

Thats hanging behind their eyes

Theres more bad blood

In this bar than there is beer

And its subtle but it still sucks

And I want out of here

We got egos like hairdos

Theyre 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

Weve got egos like hairdos

Theyre 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 theyll dig their teeth in

Its cool to discover someone

Its hard to support them

Everyone is playing life

Like its some stupid sport

We got egos like hairdos

Theyre 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

Therere no demons here

And I dont 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 aint no saint

I help myself to what I need

But I help other people too

Yknow I sleep soundly
