Iu0027m that first-person they talk about in all the books
Iu0027m that perspective you cannot doubt, see how I look
Control the narrative reliably, baby itu0027s all about me
And I wrote the book about throwing the book at those who
Donu0027t do it by it
So now Iu0027m holding myself hostage, Stockholm lust just looks like justice
And enough lefts donu0027t make the right but two wrongs do
Oh man, Sun Tzu would love this.
Beating my dead high horse off the high road to low ground cause
If you shake your fist at snakes in grass it looks like punching down.

So God forbid Iu0027m seen just as an average human being
I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene
Iu0027m the gap between a tragedy and comedy, donu0027t come at me
Iu0027m the main character, and you have to like me

I loot plot-armor from NPCu0027s, well they are to me
Trite tropes, traits, traumas, trinkets, and treats. Itu0027s all XP. Look in the
Sky, itu0027s a bird, itu0027s a plane, no itu0027s super-ego! The underdog you cheer for
Villains are everywhere, thatu0027s how I know Iu0027m the hero
So tie me to the train tracks, laugh and snidely twist your mustache, Snidely Whiplash
Boris Badinov, ignorinu0027 meu0027s bad enough, where do you get off?
Da, das vadanya darling, Daleks in high collars monologue
And I outsmart them with a ray-gun and a tweet

So God forbid Iu0027m seen just as an average human being
I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene
Iu0027m the gap between a tragedy and comedy, donu0027t come at me
Iu0027m the main character, and you have to like me

Judge me by what my cover shows, author becomes beyond reproach
You donu0027t know the prose, or if the spine is still intact.
Oh, like Alice fell to wonderland, come astroturf my Overton
Embolden my demand to live by alternative facts.

Her majesty says ""the royal we demand a standard loyalty”
An agreement to be reverent, lick the emperoru0027s new boots.
The court fool got the guillotine, the witches the stake, you the dopamine
And Siemens made the Zyklon B, but we all still get the flu. (Itu0027s nothing new)
We all do what we need to to get through.
But I ainu0027t done a fucking thing to you.

So god forbid Iu0027m seen just as an average human being, I mean
Imagine if antagonists lacked any evil scheme
Iu0027m the gap between a tragedy and comedy, donu0027t come at me
Iu0027m the main character and you have to like me.
