John Grant - The Only Baby lyrics

[Verse 1] So you ventured out into the new world To spread your seed in every land you could find To take by force whatever you could get your hands on You said "We're gonna take whatever place on the map my finger lands on" We'll show them savages who's calling all the shots We'll give them education which they could have got without us We'll strip the land and force her to put out And if we don't get what we want we'll put it in her mouth [Verse 2] This is really hard I think we're gonna need somе slaves We'll drag some pеople back to here And we'll make them dig their very own graves We'll give them clothes and teach them to behave And they will like it or else Because God obviously wants it that way This should destroy their spirits and crush their sense of self And when we see the effect this has We'll blame it on the people themselves And if they complain we'll pour an oceans worth of sugar and drugs on top And then we'll get some bald guy wearing a suit to go on TV and berate them when they cannot stop And we'll shun the ones who do not get the christian diseases Like cancer, MS, heart failure, Lou Gehrig's Codependency and diabetes We know which ones come from our father in the sky And we know which ones were designed by the other guy That thing in the White House is beholden to a deity It's the same one we are and it's name is the economy Imaginary numbers dance like Vegas showgirls in his head And when the veil is lifted You're gonna wish that you were dead [Verse 3] And now we've gotten all the things we could ever want Like cars, milk frothers, crime and book from self-help authors And coal and diamonds, buildings oil and lots of steel And every moment was worth it I'm sorry that's just how I feel [Outro] Well that's the only baby that b*tch could have That's the only baby that b*tch could have Don't look so glum there's no reason to feel sad Cause baby, that's the only baby that b*tch could've ever had Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have That's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have That's the only baby that b*tch could have Yeah, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have Well, that's the only baby that b*tch could have That's the only baby that b*tch could have
