(verse 1)
everybody’s got a guy

everybody’s got a writer in a room

working late into the dog afternoon

on some sl!ck serenade, some twee teeny toon

(chorus)
but my guy’s not doing so well

he’s drinking all night and sleeping all day

it’s all gone to h+ll

(verse 2)
i’ve been trying to tell him

that’s my job not yours

i’m the face of the franchise

you’re the heartbeat under the boards

(verse 3)
everybody knows the lie

everybody knows the land and its lay

the grift is much quicker and easier

than the graft today

(chorus)
but my guy seems to’ve figured it out

he’s opened the door

to the attic oh lord

now it’s all +rs+ about!

(verse 4)
i plead my case and implore but

he just dances away
now i’m the face in the portrait

and he’s a new born dorian gray

(bridge)
with great calamity

there comes opportunity

this has been proven to me

every now and then

now i find myself alone

i shall have to write my own

and how could it go wrong

it’s just a little a song, no?

no

(instrumental break)

(verse 5)
that’s why everybody’s got a guy

everybody’s got some stiff up in a room

doing the things we don’t know how to do

while we bask in the light of a credit or two

(chorus)
but my guy’s not toeing the line

he says he’s tired of being in prison

and doing somebody else’s time

my guy’s checked out of the tower of song

trashed the room left a mess

and no forwarding address

all have is this note on a crumpled up kleenex

(verse 6)
“i’ve been trying to tell you

for a very long time

all these liquid emotions

well they’re probably mine

you’re not getting very much younger

and baby you ain’t getting brighter

perhaps you need to find yourself a new songwriteeeeerup!!

everybody’s got a guy

everybody’s got some gimp down in a cage

running the lines til they’re palatable

or just about edgy enough for this age of lies
