No, I'm not referring to those creepy Kool-Aid driven hymns we heard during Barack Obama's campaign. The song I'm referring to is "Megalomaniac," penned by alternative rock band Incubus as a diatribe against President George W. Bush. But if you read the lyrics, they're much more applicable to the current occupant of the Oval Office.
I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, it's unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone
Hey megalomaniac!
You're no Jesus!
Yeah, you're no f*cking Elvis!
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby and
Step down.
Step down.
Step down!
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be the only one
Hey megalomaniac!
You're no Jesus!
Yeah, you're no f*cking Elvis!
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby, and
Step down.
Step down.
Step down!Yeah!
You're no Jesus!
You're no Elvis!
You're no Jesus!
You're no Jesus!
You're no Elvis!
YOU'RE NO ANSWER!
STEP DOWN 4x
Hey megalomaniac!
You're no Jesus!
Yeah, you're no f*cking Elvis!
Wash your hands clean of yourself, baby, and
Step down!
Maybe the song should be revised to include "You're no Lincoln..."
