Jaykub, it's time for you to wake up and accept your awards
Inside your tiny little one room apartment of the poor

Up on the podium you smile and you wave
Well, they all thought that you were dumb
But it's you who's on that stage

Jaykub, you work until the day's done and then you go to bed
And never with anyone to talk to but the hero in your head
The hero

Up on the podium you're handsome and you're tall
But actually you are just hardly five foot small

Jaykub, it's time again to wake up and accept your awards
And go on smiling while your landlord is pounding on the door
Up on the podium you're famous and you're strong
Then the alarm goes off and you're a sad man in a song
