Egos Like Hairdos Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Egos Like Hairdos Lyrics

    I saw on the poster
    my name was printed
    just a little bit smaller
    I can tell you need to stand
    just a little bit taller
    no one ever talks about it
    but no one can disguise
    the cloud of competition
    that's hanging behind their eyes
    there's more bad blood
    in this bar than there is beer
    and it's subtle but it still sucks
    and I want out of here

    we got egos like hairdos
    they're different every day
    depending on how we slept the night before
    depending on the demons that are at our door

    they told me you wanted to play last
    every profession has its system of castes
    so they reverse the order we go on
    and then you stand at the bar
    and you talk through my songs

    we've got egos like hairdos
    they're different every day
    depending on how we slept the night before
    depending on the demons that are at our door

    everybody loves the underdog
    but no one wants to be him
    the press will fatten you up
    and then they'll dig their teeth in
    it's cool to discover someone
    it's hard to support them
    everyone is playing life
    like it's some stupid sport

    we got egos like hairdos
    they're different every day
    depending on how we slept the night before
    depending on the demons that are at our door

    I got my kitchen stocked
    I got my door unlocked
    there're no demons here
    and I don't really care
    whose name is printed in bigger type
    you know I live in a world full of hope
    not a world full of hype
    I ain't no saint
    I help myself to what I need
    but I help other people too
    y'know I sleep soundly
