It's a Hit

It’s A Hit - Rilo Kiley (里奧·久利)
Any chimp can play human for a day
And use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
And run for office on election day
And fancy himself a real decision maker
Then deploy more troops than salt in a shaker
But it's a jungle when war is made
And you'll panic and throw your own sh*t at the enemy
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 a thoughtful wife
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life
But if she blinks or smiles she'll give you away
'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness
No one wants to pay to see her 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 articulate 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 sh*t
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks
Gotta write a hit I think this is it
It's a hit
And if it's not
Then it's a holiday for a hanging
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging yeah
Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
Any fool can play executioner for a day
And say with fingers pointed in both directions
He went that way
It's only a switch or syringe
I'm 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 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 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
