Any chimp can play human for a day.
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
and run for office on election day
fancy himself a real decision maker
(with guitar lick x2)
and deploy more troops than salt shakers.
But it s a jungle when war is made,
and you ll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
Look, it s a sheep in wolf s clothing.
A smoking gun holding ape.
Guitar Lick X2
Any asshole can open up a museum.
Put all of the things he loves on display
so everyone could see them.
The house, a car, a thoughtful wife
ordinary moments in his ordinary life.
Guitar Lick X 1
But if she breaks a smile, she ll give you away
cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness.
No one wants to pay to see your day to day
and I m not buying it either
but I ll try selling it anyway.
Guitar Lick X 4
Trumpet Lick X 4
Any idiot can play Greek for a day
and join a sorority or write a tragedy
and articulating all that pain
and maybe you ll get paid.
Guitar Lick X1
But it s a sin when success complains,
and your writers block- it don t mean shit.
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Gotta write a hit.
I think this is it.
It s a hit.
Guitar Lick X 2
Trumpet Lick X 2
You get the idea. It isn t hard.
