[Verse 1]
Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheering him on
He deserves everything he's got
[Chorus]
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B
The one everybody loves cutting down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide their jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me
(Now check this out)
[Verse 2]
Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend [laugh]
He's back in the crowd
[Chorus]
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B
The one everybody loves cutting down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide their jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place
Where everybody hates me
[Bridge]
Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Want to wag that big dog tail
But till they are they want to see the big dog fail
[Chorus]
You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then you’re the S.O.B
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide their jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
Till everybody hates me
