lyrics

Hey yeah yeah
Yeah hey yeah yeah

He's been shuffling his desk and poisons
They used to say 'there goes the chief'
but chief of nothing is what he's become
Giant rat-maze traveler
Who ducks the jive and rabble her
Face in his minds-eye has been grayed behind clouds of soda'd rum

You used to be the mystery man oh
when you were a boy the world wanted to know what was inside your mind
Stars and oceans they collide
And the light inside you eyes
Has the answers to all of the questions about wrong and right

Hey yeah heah
He quit drinking, he quit working
cause the man pays him in grief
He found new leaves
Turned the over
Watch that chip fall off his shoulder, yeah
He left it all behind
cause he was not satisfied and I say:
Don't fuck with The Chief...

You want to be an astronaut
See the world from outer space
You want sympathy because you're not
As I turn away you do not get to wear confusion on your face

Hey heah heah
He quit smoking, he quit working
Cause the man pays him in grief
He found new leaves, turned them over
watch that boulder off his shoulder
He did not sit down and cry
He just left it all behind and I say:
Don't fuck with The Chief...

Eggman falling and breaking
Friendship sick and full faking
Small box set on the taking
of your mind leaves you shook and shaking

Coward's never in season
There's no shortage of reasons
One side sees it as treason
Other side finds criminal pleasing

Do, do not there's no trying
Small green man wasn't lying
Soon you'll carry a dusty game plan
Soon shake hands with a rusty hangman
Say goodbye cause you're dying

He found new leaves, turned them over
Watch the whole world off his shoulder, yeah
He left it all behind
Cause he was not satisfied and I say:
Don't fuck with the Chief.
