[Verse 1]
F Ab
My grandmama used to tell me one day I would be king
Eb Ab
And that it could be me to put these dreams into a sling
F Ab
And fling 'em like a bullet 'til they bean the whole ruling regime
Eb Ab
In the melon and I tell 'em that I'll one day reign supreme
F Ab
But it seems, I'm a damn salmon swimming upstream
Eb Ab
I scream cause I know just why the caged bird sings
F Ab
I'll adorn the king's throne, wear his treasure with pleasure
Eb
'Cause this job is temporary, success is forever
[Hook]
F Ab
Working every week at a job I can't stand

Eb
No time on the clock, I'm gonna stop it

Kryptonite in my pocket for all the cynical Supermen Surrounding me, crowding me, shrouding me with doubt
Ab
They don't know how to be proud of me!
F Ab
'Cause, one day, I'm gonna run this town
Eb Ab
And when I seize the crown, it's gonna please the crowd
F Ab
My hands and feet were bound to the ground, at least 'til now
Eb Ab F
Because this job is like a prison, but the beast is out (rah!)
Ab
I'm not just chasing these dreams
Eb Ab
I'm hiding out in the bushes, and then I wait 'til they leave
F Ab
And jump out and pistol whip 'em with my loaded ambition
Eb Ab
I'm not gonna front, I'm Ethan Hunt on this impossible mission
F Ab
Listen, this ain't a game of Risk in the kitchen
Eb Ab
I'm Stewie Griffin in this bitch, and I just flipped the ignition
F Ab
On a clique of robotic ninjas designed to kick my competition
Eb
In the face; I swear to God one day I'll run this place
