Totem Pole Lyrics - First World Manifesto - Screeching Weasel

Where exactly do I stand today? 

Number one in line or as a backup just in case? 

Turns out I'm just one of many chumps 

And when you get tired of me I'll find out I've been bumped 

Being part of your rotation makes me feel a little sick 

And now I've got the short end of the stick 

I did all you asked right from the start 

Everything was perfect till you had a change of heart 

Not going anywhere for anything 

Try to send me off but you're just pushing on a string 

And I keep on chasing even while I keep on getting stung 

On the bottom rung 

Leaving everything behind me 

You'll find me, down there 

I will always be here waiting 

As if you even care 

I'm going nowhere 

And I hate what I've become but I will stay to play my role 

At the bottom of the totem pole [x4]
