They took the girl with the famous eyebrows and plucked them out

And called it a shadow of doubt

For the privilege of watching this go down
|

Then they painted her eyebrows back on now she's a clown

They took the boy with the overworked vibrato
|
and called him a singer of songs
|
They made him lose his faith on the spotlight
|
till he started singing 'bout his gun
|
They shot the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog
|
Then they hauled out an innocent victim and gave him a hearty flog
|
|
CHORUS REPEAT

They got it wrong and made it worthless
|
G Am

Got it wrong and made it worthless
|

They took the real things that worked for us and threw them out
|
They took the only things that really mattered
|
and said this is not what it's about
|
They killed the wolves in the wild tundra cos man has to be top dog
|
Then they elevated the ignorant like they were Gods
|
|
