For all the heavy lifting?” You ain’t no Robin Hood (nope) Never been to this neighbourhood (nope) Thought you said this would be easy? I can smell it on ya, you’re some aristocrat I said it takes a village, you can’t handle that I already know how the history books will react I’m looking for the people’s champ And it ain't you. All my girls say: OH OH All my dudes go: OH OH Here’s the official statement We're street fighting on the pavement I’m going dancing, like I’m raving There’s no service in the basement Now I don’t mean to sound impatient But I see the flag you’re waving And I can see through all this fake shit This highest office sitting vacant Look back far enough Find the place you started I promise you no charlatan Ever died a martyr You do nothing every year But you're showing up on the red carpet
