 G                  Em
Think you're pretty wily, 

blowin' up the sun?
     G           Em
Confuse a loaded question 

with a smokin' gun
F    Dm               Em
You move like Dunning-Kruger, 

truth is overdone
F   G             Em    
A father like his son, 
                  Em Dm
look after number one, yeah
