You could be the boss, the bad man in charge
Big banner, live large, twelve car garage
Iron-fist strong arm, heavy handed raj
But it’s all a mirage and it ain’t what it oughta be
How could it deteriorate to this state?
You were the heir ready to sit in the chair’s place, and
All factors, and all signs should’ve aligned in time
But it’s not what it oughta be
Gotta give them something to get at, go, get up
Get on, set out and setup, something to set on
If they can’t be something you can bet on
For one thing or another then it ain’t what it oughta be
Another little piece of the puzzle that don’t fit in
No matter how you force the position it won’t sit in
Got it in control? Ha! Are you kidding?
The bird has escaped to where it really oughta be

She’ll be fine, (she'll be fine), she’ll be fine
With a little bit of spitshine
(She’ll be fine), she’ll be fine
With a little bit of spitshine

(Oughta be)

Lightning shouldn’t strike just the once
Trump seeker, blunt speaker bumping on all fronts
And no one go to ground even if they call stumps
No going down when sunk brother it ain’t what it oughta be
Gotta re-emerge with chin up, jump start
Pick up, strike a light, get them eyes lit up
I’m talking now, sit up. What it is
Is not what it should be, this is not what it oughta be
I see the result before it unfolds
Skip the last page, cheat the last stage
If all things are equal, no such thing
Come on, join and sing: it ain’t what it oughta be
What is it about potential? Everybody got it
Rock a revolutionary tucked up in the pocket. No
Not a hollywood ending but then a lot is depending
On you deciding it ain’t what it oughta be
Believe the word, you know it now
It oughta be, a better deal for real
(But no it’s not), no it's not, (what it oughta be), what it oughta be
(But no it’s not), no it's not, (what it oughta be), what it oughta be
(But no it’s not), no it's not, (what it oughta be), what it oughta be
(But no it’s not), no it's not, (what it oughta be)
What we need, a bit of spitshining
What we need, a bit of spitshining
What we need, a bit of spitshining
What we need, a bit of spitshining
So come on tell me

She’ll be fine, (she’ll be fine), she'll be fine
With a little bit of spitshine
(She’ll be fine), she’ll be fine
With a little bit of spitshine
