Boss - The Correspondents

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 causin' 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
