That'll Show 'Em

[Verse 1]

All my life

I had this funny feeling I

Will have some kind of deity

Select me from obscurity

Declare me special in some way

And all the pain

I made the effort to accumulate

I can cash it all in like a casino chip

In front of everyone I used to hate

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't remember the last time I felt happy

But that's okay

'Cause it'll make

A great talk show story, and

[Chorus]

That'll learn 'em

That'll show 'em

That'll make 'em see

That'll learn 'em

That'll show em

That'll make 'em believe

[Verse 2]

You see that guy?

He drinks in here every night

He has a piece of paper

That he stares at every time

I once asked him what it said

It says "I owe you

I wrote it at twenty-two

'Cause I've known from a young age my Wikipedia page

Will be underlined in blue"

[Pre-Chorus]

He can't remember the last time he felt happy

But that's okay

'Cause it'll make

A great talk show story, and

I can't help but think that maybe I

Could be happy

If I gave it up, settled down

Have a couple of kids, bought a new-build house, then

[Chorus]

That'll learn 'em

That'll show 'em

That'll make them see

That'll learn 'em

That'll show 'em

That'll make 'em believe

[Outro]

And all the non-believers in the local theaters

They'll be on their knees

And all the happy couples in the Vegas chapel

I will set them free

And all the emergency parents' evenings

Is your daughter eating?

Do you ever get the feeling

That you've hit your ceiling?

La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da

Yes, two lucky winners can bed a rockstar

Just don't look at me

Why aren't you looking at me?
