A "Bring the Cynic Back" Song
Napoleon - Ani DiFranco
they told you your music could reach millions
that the choice was up to you
you told me they always pay for lunch
and they believe in what i do
and i wonder if you miss your old friends
once you've proven what you're worth
yeah i wonder when you're a big star
will you miss the earth
and i know you would always want more
i know you would never be done
'cuz everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
and the next time that i saw you
you were larger than life
you came and you conquered
you were doing alright
you had an army of suits behind you
and all you had to be was willing
and i said i still make a pretty good living
you must make a killing
and i hope that you are happy
i hope at least you are having fun
'cuz but everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
now you think, so that is the way it's gonna be
that's what this is all about
i think that that is the way it always was
you chose not to notice until now
yeah now that there's a problem
you call me up to confide
and you go on for over an hour
'bout each one that took you for a ride
and i guess that you dialed my number
'cuz you thought for sure that i'd agree
i said baby, you know i still love you
but how dare you complain to me
everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
