lyrics

The hottest girl in class wants to come over and study
You're a chump, You’re a chump
She doesn't want your body, she just wants to be your buddy
You're a chump, You’re a chump
You think you've found yourself a brand new lover
But she really just wants to see your older brother
You're a chump, You’re a chump

Your boss asked you to pull an extra shift
You're a chump, You’re a chump
Now you missed date night and your girlfriend's miffed
You're a chump, You’re a chump
You think working hard is gonna get you ahead
But your boss just promoted his nephew instead
You're a chump, You’re a chump

You think you're too old and wise
To fall for the lies that they proselytize
But when you're swimming in bullshit every day
It's hard to imagine there's another way
And everybody living in the USA is a chump

If you think this is the land of opportunity
You're a chump, You’re a chump
2 million locked in jail in the land of the free
You're a chump, You’re a chump
If you're not born rich they think it's a sin
They'll let you die because you can't afford your medicine
And if you're on the outside just trying to get in
You're a chump, You’re a chump, You’re a chump, CHUMP!
