lyrics

Somebody is stealing all my beer
Somebody is drinking all my cold ones
I'm watching them disappear
They must be doing some late night runs
Somebody's preference is the same
Somebody is working on my game

Somebody is preaching to the choir
Somebody is giving my words a test
They say he makes them much louder
And people say he's got more finese
Somebody is getting some fame
They say he's gonna take my name

He came as a fighter
He came as screamer
He makes the room a lot brighter
And he may be a dreamer
That's why I gave him my name

Somebody is pushing on my chair
Somebody is telling me what to do
They talk as if I'm not there
And he helps me in the bathroom
I guess I'm passing on the flame
I'm glad he got the family name

He came as a fighter
He came as screamer
He makes the room a lot brighter
And he may be a dreamer
That's why I gave him my name
