Lyrics

[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
[04:20.18]
