"The Showman" [Lyrics]
I went to medical school, I paid my way selling papers
Man, cigarettes look so cool in between the right fingers
God, they know what they do, yes they do, it’s kinda genius
Now my brothers and I, we got a small family business
It’s just a thing on the side, advertise to the clinics
You know that doctors don’t lie, I don’t lie, I just bear witness
To the cry of the man, broke his back making a living
Or the cancer, so sad, and the pain so unforgiving
Give ‘em something for that, no of course, it’s not addictive
You can sleep through the night, that’s alright, just have another
It’s a medical sign, you’ll be fine, no, here’s my number
Gotta trust me, alright, you know I am just a doctor
When the stories came out that our pills had been abused
Well I explained, nice and loud, that our pills were being used
By helpless addicts just out for a thrill, what an excuse
And so a million are dead but the Met is so damn precious
Yes, just buy that new dress, that necklace, go make ‘em jealous
Hell I’d like to see them try and end the greatest circus
When you walk through the halls of your school or that museum
With my name up for all to approve how much I gave them
Know it’s not all my fault, don’t be cruel, my name is legion
I’m as young as the morning, as old as the ocean
A vortex that’s formed by a million small motions
And everything’s broken, I’m only the showman
I’m only the showman
