Player In The League
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not a joke
It's not even funny
And I'm not broke
I don't want your money
You cry so much
You make me weep
Because of you
I'm losing sleep
I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Sometimes it feels like
I'm getting melancholic
I like the things you say
But I don't like what you do
Why do you care anyway?
Who the hell are you?
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
Yeah Yeah
You're a player in the league
If you would do
What I suggest
It wouldn't lead
To instant death
I'm a capable person
Free to own
I don't need a curtain
When I'm at home
But every single day
You look the other way
As though I don't exist
I don't know what to say
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
You've got everything you need
I can see you everywhere
On the ground and in the air
You're the one that leaves a trace
Like a star in outer space
You shine brightly in the sky
Underneath the golden eye
You've got everything you need
You're a player in the league
Yeah Yeah
You're a player in the league
You've got everything you need
Yeah Yeah
You've got everything you need
