Team Player

I'm a real team player when I wanna score

I'm a real cool guy when I act like I'm bored

I'm a, I'm an elegant bum, a lovely's gentleman son

I'm a dropout, such a copout

Someone tell me am I on

It's ironic, don't you think?

The more I swim, the more I tend to sink

I ran up to take a wee

Tripped up on my shoelace in the street

And everybody around me's goin' off

They're all married and in love

(When are you gonna find someone?)

When I'm good and ready, Mom

Gee, you got me feelin' dumb

But make no mistake, I'm not a fool

Just another cynical pseudointellectual

There's not much more than meets the eyes

But havin' said all that, you know I can still surprise

'Cause I'm a real team player when I wanna score

I'm one real cool guy when I act like I'm bored

I'm a, I'm a sucker for fun, the lazy prodigal son

I'm a dropout, such a copout

Need a kick in the bum

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player

Hey, you're hot until you're not

They all remember you until one day they forgot

Call me a prophet, but the iron won't stay hot

Boys, you really gotta give it a shot

(Really?)

But don't you know the industry is fake?

It's full of sick and fanny phonies with less money than brains

They're always on display

I'm feelin' better today

I wanna eat takeaway

But I still haven't got paid

So I hear I need a record out

There's no more chords I know to play

I've gotta tour around

There's nothin' left I have to say

And nothin' more I wanna say

But I'm a real team player when I wanna score

I'm a real cool guy when I act like I'm bored

I'm a flat foot on the run, a second favorite son

I'm a dropout, such a copout

Someone lock up the gun

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a real team player, ooh

I'm a creme brulee-er, ooh

I'm no blind soothsayer, ooh

Mister ribbon player, ooh

He goes up in flares, ooh

(A successful failure)

I'm a real team player (I'm a real caretaker)

I'm a real team player (why don't we sit on the conveyer)

I'm a real team player (like I'm praying to a savior)

See ya later, alligator, ooh
