There's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank

he's the one

he says you don't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure

slide show tanked

and your flagship sank

G B7

so we're taking all our myths to the bank

G B7

so just don't, Don’t forget who to thank

G B7

we're taking our myths to the

Em A

we’re drinking a fifth to the

G F Em B7

we're taking all our myths to the bank Oh no

Riff/solo

If you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor

join his entourage give him a foot massage

from Star Search to the Philharmonic he'll get you there with Hooked on Phonics

he's the one to know

doesn't matter if you blow – no no, no no

in fact it's just the thing

he thinks we're needing

it's a lukewarm liquid diet

they're force feeding

G B7

when the words we use have lost their bite

Em A G

now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight

but it's all right

Em B7

cause you're inside and you're in tight

(Fingerpick this part)

Em B7

deals in commodities of the abstract sort

buys them in bulk but sells them short

talent, genius, love even signs of affection

he floods the market there's no price protection

G B7

and when his master plan is unfurled

C A G

There stands a handsome bid on the weather systems of the world
