[Intro: Urthboy]

(Wrong one) Now you know that's not El Gusto

(Wrong one) And it's most definitely not The Tongue

(Wrong one) And no one mistakin' it for Ozi Batla, right?

(Wrong one) My name's Urthboy, now here we go


[Verse 1: Urthboy]

The crowd all watch and shout at the shot

Now we’re off and running we’re out of the blocks

You’ve already put in your lot

Unable to stop like Peter, follow the leader

Leave it all out on the line, you’ll see the

Fade, ideas get early graves

On top of a face to save

There’s still more mistakes you’re waiting to make


[Verse 2: The Tongue]

You backing the bull or the matador, son?

I’m backing the sword, I’m backing the pen

It’s muddier than any weapon you’ve got

Stop, turn it up, Gus, I’m ready to rock

Not going to misplace

My bet now, no sweat now

Put a thousand on those Elefant Traks boys

To pull their best out


[Verse 3: Ozi Batla]

Man, you got no credits left now

Like a pokie addict, you incorrectly

Adding up your takings, who got you shaking?

We take you to task, and while the fun lasts

The bandwagon stay gagging for the favourite

When the underdog tastes a victory

You got no say in it


[Chorus: Urthboy, The Tongue & Ozi Batla]

You backed the wrong one

Long shot, stole your thunder

You backed the wrong one

You had the rug pulled out from under

You backed the wrong one

You fall in, we all in

Hate to be the one to break it to you

But you backed the wrong one


[Verse 4: Ozi Batla]

The sound of those drums

Make this field look like a cattle run

You wasted your time making

Those tallies of battles won

But that all comes to naught

So hold that thought

Till your nose is past the last post

Charge a glass and make the winning toast

Who’s having the last laugh?


[Verse 5: Urthboy]

Well, you looking at him and you wouldn’t want him

To be getting ahead of you so you’re puttin’ one on him

But who are you conning, the one just born?

On the Titanic, you can’t run from the storm

You backed the fraud, we pulled your card

Built on sand we pull it apart

Forget your class, forget your cast

Son, it’s how you carry your scars


[Verse 6: The Tongue]

It’s funny how moments are frozen in time

Vital mistakes turn a stone in your mind

Whips you across that finishing line

And there’s always another who’s better designed

Is it luck, is it skill, is it..., is it talent?

Co-ordination, strength or balance

Or none of 'em, or the sum of 'em?

Standing on giants shoulders is humbling


[Chorus (Extended): Urthboy, The Tongue & Ozi Batla]

You backed the wrong one

Long shot, stole your thunder

You backed the wrong one

You had the rug pulled out from under

You backed the wrong one

You fall in, we all in

Hate to be the one to break it to you

But you backed the wrong one

The long shot stole your thunder

You backed the wrong one

You had the rug pulled out from under

You backed the wrong one

You fall in, we all in

It seemed certain but when it's said and done

You backed the wrong one


[Outro: Ozi Batla]

Yeah

Yeah, you backed the wrong one

Yeah, you backed the wrong one

You backed the wrong one

You backed the wrong one

You backed the wrong one

You backed the wrong one
