Am
The new kid, he’s got money

Am
The money I deserve

F                                C          E
He’s got the goods but he’s not good for his word

Am
I should be rolling in it

Am
I've been a working stiff

F                               C        E
As for the justice no one knows where it went



Chorus

Am
I’m gonna toil away

F
Until my judgment day

C                                        E
I will be rewarded for the good things I did

Am
Believe me every year

F
There is another one here



C                                E
Don’t you see I used to be the new kid
        

Am
I am sorry to say

F
You’ll get carried away
Oh

C
You will be replaced

               E
You will be replaced

Am
I tell you again

F
Don’t get too settled in
Oh

C
You will be replaced
E
You will be replaced

(by the new kid)



Verse 2

The new kid, he’s got my girl

The girl I used to have

He’s got the looks you know, but not from his dad 

I should be kissing that girl

We should be so in love

There is no justice 

There’s just dark stars above
