lyrics

When the good lord said I was ordained for fame and fortune
Of course I didn’t dare to interfere
It took some hushed maneuvers and some deft manipulations
But you can tell all of your friends I’m finally here.
I’m here to model power, purified and absolute
Because I am control dressed in a suit.
I’m here to set the level, set the pace, and set the scene.
My friends all give me money, and they tell me that it’s clean

Don’t tell me that you’re living in poverty
I see through your highway robbery
Don’t tell me that you’re living in squalor
Shut your mouth now, get a little smaller
Wasted life and wasted youth
I’ve got mine, so why don’t you?

And if you don’t believe that life has fairy tale endings, baby
All you have to do is look at me
It may not be as peaceful or as ethical as you dreamed of
But someone’s got to act efficiently
No, I’m not sentimental
By the standards that you set.
Don’t you know I’ve earned too much for that?
I know you’re all just people
All made of bone and meat.
You will not deprive me of
My right to pointed teeth.
---
Don’t ask me to play a game of holier-than-thou
Unless you feel like losing something now
Who said you had time to be so difficult to impress?
No one cares about the penniless
I’m not here to give you handouts
I don’t see why you need help
Serving God and country
But first I’m serving myself.
---
Some day you will have to learn
You can’t fix everything you own.
