Folk Hero Shtick

How many of them can you string along?

How many of them can you bring to us?

How many of them can you string along?

How long before they all wisen up?

How many of them can you string along?

How many of them can you bring to us?

Turn it up Ringmaster your final lullaby

Let's see how your genius is fully realised

The Emperor's standing naked, how much longer, can he fake it

All night, repeat it ten times we've, we've got it

I know what is expected here, I'm not a child and I won't be blindsided

I know what is expected here

You're the one detached from daily existence

And I don't like your foolish suits, folk hero shtick

Micro-manage, take the sky from touch, the people feed the ego

But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit

Darling of every muse or fair weather friend

Prance around amphitheaters in your swelled head

Smoke clears and mirrors shatter, a bargain Broadway, a mock Mad Hatter

Pack it in, please pack it in now, I've got this

I know what is expected here, i'm not a child and, i won't be blindsided

I know what is expected here

You're the one detached from daily existence

And I don't like your foolish suits, folk hero shtick

Micro-manage, take the sky from touch, the people feed the ego

But look me in the eyes to spout your bullshit

How many of them can you string along?

How many of them can you bring to us?

Would it kill you to lose attention?

How many of them can you string along?

How long before they all wisen up?

Would it kill you to lose attention?

How many of them can you string along?

How many of them can you bring to us?

Would it kill you to lose attention?
