Understudy -

understudy backstage don’t get the credit that he deserves

he don’t have a grand story to tell, he just got words

he’s got your back so many a time, the way he treated ain’t quite sublime

understudy, say something before ya only feel worse.

(refrain) understudy say somethin' before ya only get worse

that’s right, i’m not your go-fer, i’m not your fuckin' intern

i’m literally your brother, it’s about time that you learned

some respect for your partner, im not your fucking bitch

i’m not your filthy hooker, (oh) how our roles are gonna switch.

your ego trip’s gone on for far too long

you’ve stolen all my limelight, oh my brother that’s so damn wrong

you left me behind, threw me to the curb

denied you knew me (and) justified your words

your ego trip’s gone on for far too long

you’ve stolen all my limelight, oh my brother that’s so damn wrong

you may have age on your side, but

i know where you sleep, you’ve no place to hide

now you’re gonna know what it feels like to not belong, before long.

hey there, brother, see, i’ve been thinking lately, actually, i’ve been

saving your dumb ass from all these fuckin' ghosts and shit, and it’s pretty

scary, it’s pretty fucked up, actually;

kinda messin' with my head a little bit,

if you know what i mean?

ANYWAY, you need to give me the respect i fuckin'

deserve,

otherwise we might have to have a little conversation, now, won’t we?

I’LL DEVOUR YOUR FUCKIN' SOUL.

NONE OF YOU SHALL REMAIN.

I’LL PUSH YOU THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL.

YOU’LL KNOW NOTHING BUT A WORLD OF PAIN.

all i want is some thanks from you (from you.)
