[Verse 1]
I can only assume
That the way that you're behaving is because you lacked love as a child
Your elephant in the room is fed and watered
When it should've been left alone in the wild

[Verse 2]
I would love for this to not be an issue
I would love to just laugh in your face
But I'm finding it hard to dismiss you
When you're the one running the place

[Chorus]
We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost

[Verse 3]
It's a complicated system, I know
But it ain't a lack of ability
That's causin' the show there to rain and take a turn for the worse
And it's not the fact that you find no time to rehearse

[Verse 4]
I know that every move is intended
To find ways of protecting your own
And knew that so many depended
On decisions we'd never condone
[Chorus]
We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost

(Do, do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do, do)

[Verse 5]
What's your motivation, what's your raison d'être
With any other vocation, you wouldn't affect
Even a quarter of the people you do
Now you make the rules, and you break them too

[Verse 6]
Well I can feel the tide, and it's turning (Keep it turning, keep it turning)
You're already wading, waist-deep
And while you think you're still leading with earnings
Steal the title you're so desperate to keep

[Chorus]
We didn't ask for you to lead us
We didn't want you to be boss
You have done nothing but deceive us
And it is us who pay the cost
