Just put your dukes up, John,

Yeah, put your dukes up, John,

You were preened and sanitized

Struck dumb by good advice



Your integrity was bruised

Your celebrity a ruse

They pulled the rug from under

Made way for new pretenders



Change your tune and change your hair

Or your not going anywhere

Change your tune and change your hair

Or your not going anywhere

(Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John)



And be a C-Y-N-I-C

Be a C-Y-N-I-C



The profit margin blinds them

They groomed and ostracized him

His calm makes my blood boil

His calm makes my blood boil



Change your tune and change your hair

Or your not going anywhere

Change your tune and change your hair

Or your not going anywhere

(Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John

Put your dukes up, John)



And be a C-Y-N-I-C

Be a C-Y-N-I-C



Chang your tune and change your hair

Or your not going anywhere

(Put your dukes up, John,)

(Be a C-Y-N-I-C)
