Lyrics
That's just the way it goes they say
Down at the corner bar by me
Yeah, they'll take it away
And eventually you'll see
Nothing ever changes here
The regulars sit and watch t.v.
And they'll drink their beer
And be thankful they're not me
Better run, better hide
'Cuz you don't know who's on your side
But you know that the fool will survive
Rampant mediocrity
Spreads out and multiplies again
Like a bad disease
Self doubt develops in your head
So you run, and you hide
But you still can't seem to get by
And the man in the mirror makes you wanna cry
So you look around for an answer
But you don't know what you're after
So you step aside and take your place in line
Better run, better hide
'Cuz you don't know who's on your side
But you know that the fool will survive
