Stooge

Now you stand above the crowd
Cresting waves of adulation
Through bleeding hearts, fear and broken dreams
We’ll feast upon a nation.

We will stand behind you.
As long as you hold sway.
If your flock should falter.
You’ll remind them. You will say.

Someone’s at the gates!
Who will keep you safe?
Someone always takes!
Who’ll give you your fair share?

I can.
I promise.
You can trust me when I say

We’ll all get something now.
We'll all get
Something now!

Some hope, some change, you can believe in.
A cause so righteous someone else is giving.
A war to cheer. A war to win.
A war you’ll never have to fight or die in.

We’ll all get something now.
We’ll all get
Something now.
Trust me.

I’ve placed you high above the crowd.
We all know our stations.
To cheer you makes me safe and proud.
The savior of a nation.

I will never falter.
I will never stray.
At the ballot or the altar
A voice will always say

Someone’s at the gate!
Who will keep me safe!?!?
Someone always takes!
Who’ll give me my fair share?

You can.
You promised me.
I can trust you when you say

We’ll all get something now.
We’ll all get something
Something now!

Some hope. Some change I can believe in.
A cause so righteous, someone else is giving.
A war to cheer. A war to win.
A war I’ll never have to fight or die in.

We’ll all get something now.
We’ll all get something.
Something now.
Won’t we?

Give me, give me, give me.

Something.
For nothing.

I want.
Something
For nothing.

Who said
Nothing's
Still something.

A hiss a kiss that whispers,
‘Be afraid.
Run into the hands of
Your Father.
He’ll keep me warm.
Keep me safe.
Keep me numb.
Keep feeding me.’

Envy and danger
Keep reason a stranger.
I don’t have to think.
Just graze a bit and drink.
Someone else will save me from myself.

We’ll all get something.
Something, now trust me.
We’ll all get something.
Something now, won’t we.
Some hope, some change we can believe in.
A war we’ll never have to fight or die in.
We’ll all get
Something now.

Trust me.
We’ll all get ..
Just think
We’ll all get ...
Trust me
We’ll all get …
Just think
We’ll all get something.
Won’t we now?
