It's a hit
Any chimp can play human for a day
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
And run for office on election day
And fancy himself a real decision maker
And deploy all the troops like salt from a shaker
But it's a jungle when war is made
Any you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy
And the camera pulls back to reveal your true identity
Look it's a sheep in wolf's clothing
A smoking gun holding ape
Any asshole can open up a museum
Put all of the things he loves on display
So everyone can see them
The house the car the thoughful wife
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life
But if she ruins herself 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
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
a holiday for hanging
And idiot can play greek for a day
Join a sorority or write a tragedy
And articulate all that pain
And maybe you'll get paid
But it's a sin when success complains
And your writers block 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
Any idiot can play executioner for a day
And say with fingers pointed in both directions
He went thataway
It's only to switch your syringe
Exempt from eternal sin
But you still wear that cross
And you think you're gonna get in
But the pardons never come from upstairs
They're always a moment too late
But it's entertainment
Keep the crowd on their toes
It's justice, we're safe
it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
a holiday for hanging, yeah
it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
a holiday for hanging, yeah
it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
a holiday for hanging, yeah
