Cause it's an F#animal city, It's a cannibal world
ESo be obedient, don't argue

ESo be obedient, don't argue
Some are Bmready to rip you right off
D, C#7, D, C#7  
They believe you now have everything you wanted
And once you have become a star you have no right to bitch
But someday when you fail
They'll put you on sale
And buy you by the inch

And real is your middle name
You know sometimes I feel
We got to earn every breath we take, baby
never mind the rules we break
