Kristen Anderson-Lopez - Will I Know Anyone At This Party? lyrics

[Verse 1: Neil Patrick Harris as Paul Ryan] I knew some time ago You didn't want would I could give you any more I knew some time ago This was not the party that it was for us before [Pre-Chorus] The truth sets in, but the dream persists I don't believe you're all white nationalists It hurt to see you running to him I hope in time, you'll see right through him [Chorus] And I'll be there when the nightmare has ended Yes, I'll be there in the light of day Turn your back on that troll you befriended And come on back to me When you're ready for A better way [Verse 2] I know he's what you want I know he says the things that make your pa**ions flare I know he's fun and all Maybe I'm no fun but it's because I truly care [Pre-Chorus] It's only for your sake that I endorsed I'm sure you could tell it was completely forced Now the guy is calling me a wussy I wish I could grab him by the lapels and tell him [Chorus] I'll be there to pick up all the pieces I'll be there, no matter what they say Cut him loose, and don't let him near your nieces And come on back to me Because you'll be ready for A better way [Bridge: Neil Patrick Harris as Paul Ryan & (Chorus)] Cut Medicare! (A better way!) More fossil fuels! (A better way!) Social security privatization! (A better way!) Get the poor off welfare for good (A better way!) Defund Planned Parenthood. (A better way!) Gay marriage, abortion, and gun control (A better way!) Are all unconstitutional! [Chorus] Your conservative ideals No spending tastes as good as a balanced budget feels And I'll be there with policies aplenty Yes, I'll be there, rising above the fray! You'll see me one fine day in 2020 At least, I hope you will God, I hope there's still A better way
