^AmThe new kid, he’s got money ^AmThe money I deserve

^FHe’s got the goods but he’s n^Cot good for^E his word ^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 ^Enew kid

^AmI am sorry to say ^FYou’ll get carried away Oh

^CYou will be replaced You will be rep^Elaced

^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
