parliament of fools – the fall guy (the cancellation will not be televised) lyrics

[intro: sample]
michelangelo, leonardo, davinci, they’re all dead. i remain, do you understand, i remain, as a performance artist

[verse 1: ben]
sent some pof merch
to a bunch of starving kids
heard some crisis hit them hard
hope they’re getting over it
heard that global warming sucks
so i’ll cover up the sun
bought a super big umbrella
hope the sunscreen helps a ton
homeless people make me sad
so we went to fix that
bought them all a mansion
where’s the fault in that
i don’t know why they’re mad
never knew about the tax
don’t send them to jail, though
can i get the houses back?

[chorus: alex]
what about the time
we were at a union strike, on the picket line
talking down the change from 9 to 5 to 5 to 9
what about the time
i ordered lemon lime, but got a coke not sprite
yet i still tipped the cashier a single f+cking dime
what about the time
i helped that kid with his math homework
what about the time
i had to go and do mad housework
what about the time
i had to text my girlfriend like clockwork
what about that?
[verse 2: charlie]
what about when we brought you all together
how about when you thought it’d be forever
what about when we write lines so clever
how about when we made your lives better
you’re telling me that meant nothing to ya?
you’re turning your back man i thought we knew ya
that betrayal’s so foolish but we’re the fools bruh
are we an old band now? even with some new songs?
nah hold on, we’re still forever
bring that sh+tstorm we’ll brave the weather
still ain’t peaked, still getting better
we do this for you so don’t forget uh
think for yourself use your mind be free
don’t let your thoughts be picked by the tv
you can hate on us, side with luman and be a sheep
or a fan of the fools, which one will you be?

[verse 3: alex]
let me tell you the story
of a boy named icarus
kid who saw the world, scoffed
and then screamed “i’m sick of this”
crafted up some wings and dreams
he faked a metamorphosis
but he fell and scr+ped his knee
he’s a crying little b+tch
bro i’m him, but i won
you’re him too, sike you’re not
so you hate, f+ck you want?
pof, turn me up
pandering and sh+t, like “nothing’s been the same”
he’s just another kid who fell in the rooftop game
this the type of sh+t that johan be on
blow out your scented candle, f+ck up your ambience
setting fire to your house, the whole entourage
cross+dressing as your spouse, like sir lancelot
you envy how i live, so you just criticize
can’t control your own feelings, so the blame is all mine
couldn’t care less about you, on a cruise in dubai
start watching where you’re slipping, find another, fall guy
[chorus: alex, ben, & charlie]
what about the time
we were at a union strike, on the picket line
talking down the change from 9 to 5 to 5 to 9
what about the time
i ordered lemon lime, but got a coke not sprite
yet i still tipped the cashier a single f+cking dime
what about the time
i helped that kid with his math homework
what about the time
i had to go and do mad housework
what about the time
i had to text my girlfriend like clockwork
what about that?

[outro: sample]
do you know the reason i carry this torch?
the reason i carry this torch is because it’s the same torch that lady liberty carries
it’s the same torch on the side of justice
do you know why i carry this rock, your honor?
now, go, go, go, jesus christ!
