Difranco Ani Egos Like Hairdos Lyrics

Egos Like Hairdos Lyrics

I saw on the poster
my name was printed
just a little bit smaller
I can
tell you need to stand
just a little bit taller
no one ever talks about
it
but no one can disguise
the cloud of competition
that's hanging
behind their eyes
there's more bad blood
in this bar than there is
beer
and it's subtle but it still sucks
and I want out of here
we got
egos like hairdos
they're different every day
depending on how we slept
the night before
depending on the demons that are at our door
they told
me you wanted to play last
every profession has its system of castes
so
they reverse the order we go on
and then you stand at the bar
and you
talk through my songs
we've got egos like hairdos
they're different every
day
depending on how we slept the night before
depending on the demons
that are at our door
everybody loves the underdog
but no one wants to be
him
the press will fatten you up
and then they'll dig their teeth
in
it's cool to discover someone
it's hard to support them
everyone is
playing life
like it's some stupid sport
we got egos like
hairdos
they're different every day
depending on how we slept the night
before
depending on the demons that are at our door
I got my kitchen
stocked
I got my door unlocked
there're no demons here
and I don't
really care
whose name is printed in bigger type
you know I live in a
world full of hope
not a world full of hype
I ain't no saint
I help
myself to what I need
but I help other people too
y'know I sleep soundly
