AmThe new kid, he’s got money
AmThe money I deserve
FHe’s got the goods but he’s not gCood for his Eword
AmI should be rolling in it
AmI've been a working stiff
FAs for the justice no one knows Cwhere it Ewent
Chorus
AmI’m gonna toil away
FUntil my judgment day
CI will be rewarded for the good things I Edid
AmBelieve me every year
FThere is another one here
CDon’t you see I used to be the neEw kid
AmI am sorry to say
FYou’ll get carried away
Oh
CYou will be replaced
You will be repElaced
AmI tell you again
FDon’t get too settled in
Oh
CYou will be replaced
EYou will be replaced
(by the new kid)
Verse 2
The new kid, he’s got my girl
The girl I used to have
He’s got the looks you know, but not from his dad 
I should be kissing that girl
We should be so in love
There is no justice 
There’s just dark stars above
