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
and deploy more troops than salt shakers
F G C
But it's a jungle when war is made
F G C
and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy
F G C G Am
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity
F
Look it's a sheep in wolf's clothing
G
A smoking gun holding ape
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
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
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
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
C
It's a hit
And if it's not
then it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
F F C
Any fool can play executioner for a day
and say with fingers pointed in both directions
he went thataway'
It's only a switch or syringe
aww exempt from eternal sins
But you still wear a cross
and you think you're gonna get in
Ah but the pardons never come from up-stairs
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 not a hit it's a holiday
shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
It's a holiday for hanging yeah
It's a holiday for hanging yeah
It's a holiday for hanging yeah
It's a holiday for hanging yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging
I'm a holiday for hanging
I'm a holiday yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging

It's a holiday for hanging yeah
