You Could Be President

V1
Momma, Momma, it's a mad, mad world
I feel bad for all the boys and girls
Fallin' in from the astral plane
Out of the great unknown into the grand insane
But listen, children, I've got good news
You don't have to play by the rules
So step right up and just stake your claim
And I'm gon' teach you how to play the game
CH1
Just
Throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This whole Earth is just a private residence, and
You could be President
V2
Momma, Momma, I hate to say
Dog eat dog seems like the only way
To take your seat in the captain's chair
Lord knows, the golden rule ain't gonna get you there
So don't be humble and don't be kind
All that noise is just a waste of time
(It's a waste of your time)
And pay no mind to what the people say
So long as the people say your name
(Keep 'em sayin' your name)
CH2
Just
Throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This whole Earth is just a private residence, and
You could be president
V3
Momma, Momma, it's hard to see
That old Lady called Liberty
Weeping into that New York bay
Well if I could console her, this is what I'd say...
CH3
Just
Throw your punches and have no hesitance
Follow hunches in spite of evidence
This whole Earth is just a private residence
And it's all yours, so you can make your mess of it
Run your mouth and mix all your messages
Twist the truth until you can't make sense of it
You can't lose if you can keep on bendin' it,
You could be President
You could be President
You could be President
You could be President

V1
I don’t wanna be a billionaire
I just want a comfy place to live
With friends and neighbors always around
They never call me, just walk on in
The doors and windows ain’t ever locked
Because I don’t have any shit to steal
Just a couple comfy chairs to sit
And a pot to cook a family meal
CH
So close your eyes and cover up your ears
This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but
I can’t help it if I just don’t care
I don’t want to be a billionaire
V2
I’m tired of hearin’ about the I.P.O.
All of the ways that all the cash could flow
It would be nice if it would trickle down
To the people on the other side of town
But something tells me that it probably won’t
‘Cuz something tells me that it just ain’t right
Taking donations for the 1 percent
Out of the pockets of the 99
CH
So close your eyes and cover up your ears
This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but
I can’t help it if I just don’t care
I don’t want to be a billionaire
POST CHORUS
No, I don’t
No-oh-oh, I don’t
I don’t wanna be a billionaire
BRIDGE
I don’t want to sacrifice my life, tryin’ to
Shave five seconds off a checkout line
Think of something that the whole world needs
Faster fast food delivery
I don’t want to be forced to guess
What to do with all of my excess
Take vacations into outer space
Or pay all school teachers a living wage
V3
I know nothing’s gonna come from this
Except for make a couple people pissed
It ain’t effective, far as I can tell
Telling the Devil he should go to hell
And I don’t even know who’s to blame
Or who’s been marching in the hit parade
But I don’t really wanna sing along
If a computer wrote the f*#kin’ song
CH
So close your eyes and cover up your ears
This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but
I can’t help it if I just don’t care
I don’t want to be a billionaire
POST CHORUS
No, I don’t
No-oh-oh, I don’t
I don’t wanna be a billionaire

Like a Woman Scorned

V1
Men are great, but also deeply
Fucked up in the brain
I am one, and if I’m honest,
I’m a bit ashamed
CH1
But don’t take my word for it
Just look up at the scoreboard
We’ve got the lead in several
Important categories
Colonization, slavery, genocide, and war, but…
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
V2
Men do things like fight for status
At the world’s expense
This destruction, say the experts,
Has it’s roots in sex
CH2
That’s why we brag about it
You wouldn’t understand it
We just can’t live without it
Taking what’s not been granted
And if she speaks her mind, she’s just a crazy whore, cuz…
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
BRIDGE
They can’t have too much power
We’re just too scared to let them
So we just keep them down and
Sit back and watch what happens:
Major financial crashes, ruthless incarceration
Lead poison in the water, nuclear devastation
V3
Men are great, but also deeply
Fucked up in the brain
CH3
But don’t take my word for it
Ask the 45th P.O.T.U.S.
Callin’ ‘em nasty while he’s
Grabbin’ ‘em by the –
You see…
I know it’s not that simple
Unless it’s just that simple
I ain’t no statistician, but,
I’m picking up a pattern
In our domestic violence
In all of these mass shootings
These are just observations
I’m not jumping to conclusions
TAG
Colonization, slavery, genocide, and war…
Colonization, slavery, genocide, and war…
And yet we sill say, despite all of this and more…
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
