404 - throw you a bone lyrics

[verse 1:]
you want to ask me now
of what you want from me
as if i have not provided
or been all that i could be
you don’t know anything about
being this important
and i know ’cause i was there too
and i lacked the knowledge
and i know that i said too much
and i have not delivered
but the country’s holding up
and you’re mere beginners
floyd rivers is a name they know
all the way out in niger
although i guess they fear it well
with all the bombs in the air

[pre-chorus 1:]
but hey that’s out of my control
i’m just here to see it through
and they got the dictatorial jitters
and our flag is cool, so
now that i’m an older man
i see there’s no other way to do it
so screw it
i’m accepted now

[chorus 1:]
and if you’re lucky then i might just throw you a bone
a little handshake there, or a head nod here, and you’ll be satisfied
if you’re lucky then i might just throw you a bone
i’ll tell you anything to get your progressive annoyance off my -ss
if you’re lucky then i’m gonna have to throw you a bone
you don’t know anything about what it’s like to run a country
and if you’re lucky then i might just throw you a bone
i said i accept trans people, okay? now stop asking me to fund their healthcare

[pre-verse:]
i mean sh-t, i can’t do everything at once
what do you want from me

[verse 2:]
now after all this sh-t that i’ve done for you
you still complain
and i guess it’s that way
when you’ve got this fame
the conservatives there
they’re the enemy you know
because after i moved social progress
they still hated minorities
and you look to me and say
“floyd, you’ve been against us every step of the way
you’ve never supported us
no matter what you say”
well, that’s bullsh-t, i said i don’t hate minorities
so, i’m like one step ahead, right?
and then i deported more immigrants
and k!lled countless african civilians, oh god

[pre-chorus 2:]
okay, so that’s just some ways
that i was against you, but i did fund planned parenthood
so like that’s something right? oh, okay
and the system remains the same
the rigging of wealth works the same way
but now i’m top of it
and i raised corporate taxes a little

[chorus 2:]
so i guess you’re lucky cause i just threw you a bone
this corporatocracy is a tad less corporate this time around
if you’re lucky then i might just throw you a bone
i don’t want to hear you tell me about fossil fuels and the world is ending
if you’re lucky then i’m gonna have to throw you a bone
because i kinda did a little bit there when i said i’d drive an electric car
if you’re lucky then i might just throw you a bone
i caved to the other side like a million times but i didn’t cut social security!

[bridge:]
three and a half years in the making
man, it sure took a long, long time
and i changed a lot of personal goals
but i just had a change of mind
and also a change of wallet
man, i guess i was right from the start
money sure shoots to the system
and it gave me a change of heart
but it was sincere, i swear
it was sincere, i swear
it was sincere, i swear
i swear that they made me this way
but how did i change so much so fast?

[verse 3:]
i beat the country down
i let all of my supporters down
i let my f-cking father down
i let the money take me down
and drag the country with it
despite what it had wanted
to be put out of its f-cking misery
no revolution coming

[outro:]
god, what have i done?!
let myself degrade!
allow myself to be moderate
in a time that needs great change!
they said “floyd’s a communist!”
and it got to my f-cking head
to make up for false images
i have become conservative
and ask a dying man
who needs to be cured
if moderation is beneficial
and he’d think it’s understood
that the last thing that he needs
is to walk backwards on bended knees
and yet i stood in front of my country
and said “you won’t get what you please”
do not count on those who need you
do not count on us
we’ll use you
