No more pretending now, the albatross is dying in it's nest c g

The company is crippling me, bb f am am

The worst trying to ruin the best, the best

The best kept secret in the we--est, hey the we--est

The boys and me are getting real well known around town

But every time we try to spread the action

Someone always brings it down, down

I ate the orange and I don't feel well

For them it's inconvenience for me it's hell

The geriatric staff think we're freaks

They couldn't sell kebabs to the greeks, the geeks

Inaction speaks, and

Chorus

It's got a small brain and refuses to learn
