[Verse 1]
You used to be a sort of pioneer
Eager to rearrange the hemisphere
You were a bundle of audacity
You used to be my kind of fool

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now instead of chasing rainbows
You're running after skirts
You're conservatively charming
Predictable as dirt

[Chorus]
You're a traitor, a masquerader
You're a meagre underachiever

[Verse 2]
You used to be a sort of cavalier
Constantly challenging the insincere
You never kowtowed to hypocrisy
You used to be my kind of fool

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now instead of slaying dragons
You sleep with ingenues
You're a lovely picture window
Without a point of view
[Chorus]
You're a traitor, a masquerader
You're a meagre underachiever

[Bridge]
Don't you know you're demoralising the community?
Don't you know that your manner is aggravating me?
Don't you know you've got responsibilities?
Children in the street should crucify you

[Verse 3]
You used to be a sort of volunteer
Helping the poor receive a better share
You felt the cause outweighed the adversity
You used to be my kind of fool

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now instead of sacrificing
You're wallowing in mud
And your days are full of banter
Complacency and drugs

[Chorus]
You're a traitor, a masquerader
You're a sleeper, underachiever
You're a faker, a trouble maker
You're a meagre underachiever
