It's ironic don't you think? The more I swim the more I tend to sink I ran up to take a leak Tripped up on my shoelace in the street And everybody around me's going off They're all married and in love (When are you going to find someone?) When I'm good and ready mum Gee you've got me feeling dumb But make no mistake I'm not a fool Just another cynical pseudointellectual There's not much more than meets the eyes But having said all that You know I can still surprise 'Cause I'm a real team player when I wanna score I'm one real cool guy when I act like I'm bored I'm a I'm a sucker for fun The lazy prodigal son I'm a dropout Such a copout Need a kick up the bum I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player Hey your hot until your not They all remember you until one day they forgot Call me a prophet But the iron will stay hot Boys you really gotta give it a shot ('really? OK') But don't you know the industry is fake It's full of sycophantic phonies with less money than brains They're always on display I'm feeling better today I want to eat takeaway But I still haven't got paid So I hear I need a record out There's no more chords I know to play (I've gotta tear around) There's nothing left I have to say But nothing more I want to say But I'm a real team player when I wanna score I'm a real cool guy when I act like I'm bored I'm a flat foot on the run A second favourite son I'm a dropout Such a copout Someone lock up the gun I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player ooh I'm a real team player ooh I'm a creme brulee-er ooh And a blind soothsayer ooh Mr. Rent repayer ooh Ego self-inflater (a successful failure) I'm a real team player I'm a real team player I'm a real team player See ya later alligator ooh
