Yeasayer - Folk Hero Shtick lyrics

How many of them can you string along? How many of them can you bring to us? How many of them can you string along? How long before they all wisen up? How many of them can you string along? How many of them can you bring to us? Turn it up Ringmaster, your final lullaby Let's see how your genius is fully realized The Emperor's standing naked, how much longer can he fake it All night, repeat it ten times we've, we've got it I know what is expected here I'm not a child, I won't be blindsided I know what is expected here You're the one detached from daily existence And I don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick Micro-manage, take the sky from touch, the people feed the ego But look me in the eyes to spout your bullsh** Darling of every muse or fair-weather friend Prance around amphitheaters in your swelled head Smoke clears and mirrors shatter, a bargain Broadway, mock Mad Hatter Pack it in, please pack it in now, I've got this I know what is expected here I'm not a child, I won't be blindsided I know what is expected here You're the one detached from daily existence And I don't like your foolish suits folk hero shtick Micro-manage, take the sky from touch, the people feed the ego But look me in the eyes to spout your bullsh** How many of them can you string along? How many of them can you bring to us? Would it k** you to lose attention? How many of them can you string along? How long before they all wisen up? Would it k** you to lose attention? How many of them can you string along? How many of them can you bring to us? Would it k** you to lose attention?
