Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
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
