Story Behind The Song

Just listen to the news.

Lyrics

[spoken]
I did better than everyone has ever done.
I'm the best, everyone will tell you that.
Nobody has ever done better than me.

[Verse 1]
He says he's the best, shining bright like a star,
No one ever did as well, they can't reach that far.
With a swagger in his step, he's got that smirk,
But it's all a facade that will not work.
He promises the moon, while coming up with schemes,
Lives built on illusions and broken-down dreams.
He tells us he's smart, like he holds all the keys,
We disagree, we see through him with ease.

[Chorus]
You're taking care of yourself, lining your pockets,
Breaking laws that bind and ignoring the dockets,
Constitution's the paper you shred with a sneer,
But the truth's like the weather, you'll feel it draw near.

[Verse 2]
With a pocket full of cash, he struts through the room,
But the heart of the people lays battered in gloom.
Promises are heavy when they're built on distrust,
While he rises to the top, we wither, we rust.
Ignoring the voices of those left behind,
In pursuit of his glory, he seems out of his mind.
He thinks he's a king, on his gilded throne,
But people won't have it, they'll want him to atone.


[Bridge]
Oh, the world's watching closely, can't turn a blind eye,
As the stories unfold, see the whispers comply.
For every cheap triumph, there's a lesson of shame,
In the light of the truth, we'll remember your name.
Far from being the best, it's a fragile façade,
Acting grand in your game, but it's playing for fraud.

[spoken]
I did better than everyone has ever done.
I'm the best, everyone will tell you that.
Nobody has ever done better than me.

[Outro]
Believe what you will, you fool even yourself,
We know your leadership is not top shelf,
History will tell a tale different from your own,
This country will not abide a leader in a crown.
