	[ti:it‘s a hit]
	[ar:rilo kiley]
[00:09.57]	Any chimp can play human for a day
[00:12.74]	And use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform;
[00:17.03]	And run for office on election day;
[00:21.20]	And fancy himself a real decision maker,
[00:24.93]	Then deploy more troops than salt in a shaker.
[00:33.22]	But it's a jungle when war is made,
[00:37.68]	And you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
[00:41.96]	The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
[00:46.42]	Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing,
[00:49.67]	A smoking gun holding ape.
[01:00.28]	Any asshole can open up a museum;
[01:03.31]	Put all of the things he loves on display
[01:06.08]	So everyone can see them.
[01:08.06]	The house, the car, a thoughtful wife;
[01:12.48]	Ordinary moments in his ordinary life.
[01:19.85]	But if she blinks or smiles, she'll give you away;
[01:23.76]	'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness.
[01:28.15]	No one wants to pay to see her day to day
[01:33.10]	And i'm not buying it either,
[01:34.98]	But i'll try selling it anyway.
[01:55.09]	Any idiot can play greek for a day
[01:57.95]	And join a sorority or write a tragedy;
[02:01.83]	And articulate all that pain,
[02:05.88]	And maybe you'll get paid.
[02:13.88]	But it's a sin when success complains,
[02:17.95]	And your writers block- it don't mean shit.
[02:22.07]	Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
[02:27.14]	Gotta write a hit - i think this is it.
[02:30.72]	It's a hit.
[02:37.82]	And if it's not,
[02:39.14]	Then it's a holiday for a hanging,
[02:42.94]	Yeah it's a holiday for hanging
[02:47.03]	Yeah it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
[02:51.72]	Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
[02:56.67]	Any fool can play executioner for a day,
[03:00.29]	And say with fingers pointed in both directions
[03:03.81]	'He went that way,
[03:04.19]	It's only a switch or syringe,
[03:07.04]	I'm exempt from eternal sins...'
[03:12.06]	But you still wear a cross,
[03:16.02]	And you think you're gonna get in...
[03:20.62]	Ah, but the pardons never come from upstairs;
[03:32.37]	They're always a moment too late,
[03:35.86]	But it's entertainment; keep the crowd on their toes,
[03:38.77]	It's justice, we're safe.
[03:40.90]	It's not a hit, it's a holiday.
[03:44.14]	Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
[03:48.08]	It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
[03:51.68]	It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
[03:56.19]	It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
[04:00.59]	It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
[04:04.25]	I'm a holiday for hanging,
[04:05.74]	I'm a holiday for hanging,
[04:08.14]	I'm a holiday yeah
[04:12.30]	I'm a holiday for hanging,
[04:16.35]	It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
