Rilo Kiley - It's a Hit lyrics

Any chimp can play human for a day Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform And run for office on election day Fancy himself a real decision-maker And deploy more troops than salt shakers (Sh-kk, sh-kk, sh-kk) But it's a jungle when war is made And you'll panic and throw your own sh** at the enemy The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity: Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing A smoking, gun-holding ape Any a**hole can open up a museum Put all of the things he loves on display so everyone could see 'em The house, a car, a thoughtful wife Ordinary moments in his ordinary life But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you away 'Cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness No one wants to pay to see your day-to-day And I'm not buying it either, but I'll try selling it anyway Any idiot can play Greek for a day And join a sorority or write a tragedy And articulate all that pain And maybe you'll get paid But it's a sin when success complains And your writers block, it don't mean sh** Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks Gotta write a hit, I think this is it It's a hit And if it's not Then it's a holiday for hanging, yeah It's a holiday for hanging, yeah It's a holiday for hanging, yeah Shoo-bop-shoo-bop, my baby Any fool can play executioner for a day And say with fingers pointed in both directions, "He went that-a-way" It's only a switch or syringe Ahh, exempt from eternal sins But you still wear a cross And you think you're gonna get in Ahh, but the pardons never come from upstairs They're always a moment too late But it's entertainment, keep the crowd on their toes It's justice, we're safe It's not a hit, it's a holiday Shoo-bop-shoo-wop, my baby It's a holiday for hanging, yeah It's a holiday for hanging, yeah It's a holiday for hanging, yeah It's a holiday for hanging, yeah I'm a holiday for hanging, I'm a holiday for hanging I'm a holiday, yeah I'm a holiday for hanging It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
