heads of state who writhe and wrangle
who look at your face from more than one angle
can cut you from their bloated budgets
like sharpened knives through chicken McNuggets
now heads of state who ride and wrangle
who look at your face from more than one angle
can cut you from their bloated budgets
like sharpened knives through chicken McNuggets
shut the fuck up shut the fuck up learn to buck up
shut the fuck up learn to buck up

now nimble fingers that dance on numbers
will eat your children and steal your thunder
while heavy torsos that heave and hurl
will crunch like nuts in the mouths of squirrels
now nimble fingers that dance on numbers
will eat your children and steal your thunder
while heavy torsos that heave and hurl
will crunch like nuts in the mouths of squirrels

shut the fuck up shut the fuck up right now learn to buck up
shut the fuck up learn to buck up

now simple feet that flicker like fire
and burn like candles in smoky spires
do more to turn my joy to sadness
than somber thoughts of burning planets
now clever feet that flicker like fire
and burn like candles in smoky spires
do more to turn my joy to sadness
than somber thoughts of burning planets
