Lyrics

Inflated ego it goes perfect with, his suit and tie
the corner office is his courtroom and its eye for an ey
e
in judgement of all his old colleagues
despite his own past discrepancies
another night staying late
all so he
'
ll get a raise
for increased efficiency
(Chorus)
We spend our lives, trying to be the boss
and when we succeed
no matter the cost, it still counts as a loss
when you think you
'
re above who you used to be
He
'
s made it clear to us he is not
"
One of the team
"
and too important now to make his own morning coffee
a hard day of passing down the blame
while taking credit not his to claim
He
'
s really stressing me out!
I
'
ve got a wife and a house!
and he
'
s not fucking this up for me!
(Chorus)
We spend our lives, trying to be the boss
and when we succeed
no matter the cost, it still counts as a loss
when its not by your example that you lead
bridge

(Chorus)
We spend our lives, trying to be the boss
and when we succeed
no matter the cost it still counts as a loss
when you think youre above who you used to be
