Cream and Bastards Rise

You're doing everything your people said to
 I'd hate to be the one to break it to you
 It's only sad 'cause it's true
 They misled you when they bred you
 Somebody said some things they had no right to
 Somehow that stuck and you were known as someone who
 Could simply not follow through if they had to
 But you have to, don't you?
 You don't have to be a genius
 But it helps to, it helps to
 Fools and charlatans they may get wise
 But only cream and bastards rise
 Yeah, you can see it in their eyes
 ♪
 You follow good advices to the letter
 You know your friend, he's doing so much better than you
 Are ever likely to do, he'll eclipse you
 But he will not miss you
 You don't have to be a genius
 But it helps to, it helps to
 All the also-rans are real nice guys
 But only cream and bastards rise
 People who could buy and sell you
 Sharing a joke that they will never tell you
 You think you're dialled in, someone has to win
 And you know what that means
 It means someone's got to lose
 It's probably you, oh whoa ho ho ho
 It's probably you, oh whoa ho ho ho
 ♪
 It's not a race, it's not a competition
 And if it were, you'd be in no position to
 Get them to listen to you if you had to
 Not even if your life depended on it
 You don't have to be a genius
 But it helps to, it helps to
 Some are aliens, the rest are spies
 But only cream and bastards rise
 Yeah, you can see it in their ah, ha, ha, ha
 Ah, ha, ha, ha
 Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha
 Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha
 Ah-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha
 Ah-ha ha-ha
