[Intro] [Key: A Minor | BPM: 162] [Hard Acoustic Downstrokes] [Driving Upright Bass] [Frantic Folk-Punk Drums] [Sharp Mandolin Chops] [Male Vocal, Dry and Conversational] Funny how generous I was Right up until I said no. [Verse 1] [Fast Acoustic Guitar | Relentless Bass | Tight, Frantic Drums] You needed rent, I found the money. You needed help, I lost my day. You needed someone in your corner, So I kept moving mine away. I took your calls at stupid hours. I rearranged my life for you. You called it being there for family. I guess I thought you meant it too. Years of favors, stacks of twenty, Gas and groceries, time and sleep. You never had to ask me twice. You knew exactly where I'd be. [Pre-Chorus] [Mandolin Tremolo Builds] [Drums Tighten] Then one day I had nothing left That I could hand across the line. You looked at me like I'd betrayed you. Like all those years were missing time. [Chorus] [Full-Band Folk-Punk Explosion] [Male Vocal, Ragged and Forceful] I'm not a team player. I'm a selfish piece of shit. Funny, I was on your team Every time you needed it. I gave you time. I gave you cash. I gave you everything I had. The first time I said no to you, You decided I was bad. [Verse 2] [Relentless Downstrokes | Mandolin Countermelody] [Frantic Drums Push Forward] You say I'm selfish when I'm tired. You say I'm cruel when I set limits. You take the things I do for granted, Then rewrite the whole situation. You tell me what I've done to hurt you. You tell me what I made you do. You hand me back your own behavior Like I should be ashamed of you. Every problem has a culprit. Every failure has a blame. You can find a hundred reasons Why the fault is never yours to claim. [Pre-Chorus] [Brief Drop to Bass and Muted Guitar] [Male Vocal, Bitterly Amused] You know the price of every favor. You know the balance of each debt. Except the ones you've built with others. Those don't seem to count just yet. [Chorus] [Full Band | More Aggressive Delivery] I'm not a team player. I'm a selfish piece of shit. Funny, I was on your team Every time you needed it. I gave you time. I gave you cash. I gave you everything I had. The first time I said no to you, You decided I was bad. [Bridge] [Half-Time | Acoustic Guitar and Upright Bass] [Mandolin Sparse and Uneasy] [Male Vocal, Quiet and Exhausted] I used to keep a running tally Of the ways that I could help. I thought if I could give enough, You'd learn to give a little yourself. I thought you'd see the hours. I thought you'd count the cost. I thought you'd notice all the pieces Of my life I'd gladly lost. But you don't see a person helping. You see a service running late. And the moment it stops working, You call the service ungrateful. [Build] [Mandolin Tremolo Accelerates] [Frantic Drums Return] [Acoustic Downstrokes Intensify] [Male Vocal Builds from Controlled Anger to Ragged Shouting] You call me selfish! You call me cruel! You make a weapon Out of every rule! You tell me I'm the problem! You tell me I'm to blame! You take the truth, Then give it back with my name! [Final Chorus] [Maximum Dynamic Intensity] [Full-Band Folk-Punk Frenzy] [Male Vocal, Furious and Unpolished] I'm not a team player. I'm a selfish piece of shit. Funny, I was on your team Every time you needed it. I gave you time. I gave you cash. I gave you everything I had. The first time I said no to you, You decided I was bad. [Outro] [Band Cuts Out] [Acoustic Guitar Alone] [Male Vocal, Dry and Deliberate] Funny how generous I was. Right up until I said no.
