Lyrics

All my life I’ve known men like you
who blather with their big thoughts
they think they’re right, prepared to fight
They think they’re mental juggernauts

Everywhere I've been I've had to
Put up with those grand schemes
Acumen from self-made men
Who ignore the wisdom of the teams

Unwarranted confidence based on nothing more than unearned praise
We need to do things much differently and establish some new mores.

Throughout my life I’ve had to hear
Incessant shouts of big plans
Buttressed by entitlement
Bad ideas built on shifting sands

Sad to say I’ve seen it all
Rooms filled up with grand hype
Holding forth, south and north
And man, you really match that type

Unwarranted confidence based on nothing more than frat house days
We’re going to do things much differently and establish some new mores.

No, we’re not dealing any more
with a blow-hard and his org chart
Each has a voice in every choice
And together we’ll do what’s smart

We’re moving on from loud mouth types
Who bellow their suggestions
Unconcerned about lessons learned
Don’t even understand the questions

Unwarranted confidence based on nothing more than unearned praise
We’re going to do things quite differently and establish some new mores.
