People think they're the star of the movie But they don't know it's really you Audience only gets the picture From your unique point of view Every problem you're the solution Every evil you're at the root You're the reason we all wanna look good And you're the hole in this gray flannel suit Everyone is falling in love with you Giant apes are breaking their bonds You're dialogue's by Preston Sturges And you're hotter than a Hitchcock Blonde The chilling score is playing behind you And there's a gun in your hand Do you really want to hurt me? Or is this part of the plan? Everyone is falling in love with you Giant apes are breaking their bonds You're dialogue's by Preston Sturges And you're hotter than a Hitchcock Blonde We're all hanging on your every word Even if it's all a lie I can take anything you say to me As long as you don't say goodbye Everyone is falling in love with you Giant apes are breaking their bonds You're dialogue's by Preston Sturges And you're hotter than a Hitchcock Blonde

Hurricane 02:35
She comes out of nowhere like an act of god Eyes sparking like a lightening rod The weatherman says you better look out Batten down the hatches she’s a whirlwind A shelter in place kind of girlfriend If you don’t want to fall in love you better look out She’s a force of nature, she’s a hurricane I’m just a poor little paper plane She throws me for a loop through the wind and rain My baby she hits me like a hurricane Radar track her doing 95 Nothing in her path make it out alive All those island nations they better look out A room is a mess when she flies into it A town isn’t safe when she blows into it All those trailer parks they better look out She’s a force of nature, she’s a hurricane I’m just a poor little paper plane She throws me for a loop through the wind and rain My baby she hits me like a hurricane Solo She’s a force of nature, she’s a hurricane I’m just a poor little paper plane She throws me for a loop through the wind and rain My baby she hits me like a hurricane

It’s 1984 again The one with Reagan and the one that’s Orwellian Might as well cut funding to the arts There’s no room for beauty in our hateful hearts It’s all over now, baby blue When they’re telling us the truth ain’t true We’re all headed straight for our doom Our imagined of freedom is gone gone gone to soon Let’s pretend everything is fine Just pretend it’s not the End of Times Might as well burn it to the ground Put up a pipeline and shout some science down It’s all over now, baby blue When they’re telling us the truth ain’t true We’re all headed straight for our doom Our imagined freedom is gone to soon How this is happening I’m still not clear Factories like tombstones, speeches full of fear Might as well buy some stuff on credit The future’s gone, you won’t regret it It’s all over now, baby blue When they’re telling us the truth ain’t true We’re all headed straight for our doom Our dream of freedom is gone to soon

If you want to be a boy or a girl Go ahead and be a Roy or a Pearl If you want to love a woman or man Go ahead and love a Herman or Fran Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me You can be a rocker or be a mod You can be a mocker when it comes to god Go to church and lament your sins Or say it’s all a sham like my atheist friend Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me They’re selling our record at the record shop You can call it crap or power-pop You can be too cool for rock’n’roll But moving and grooving satisfies my soul Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me Whatever blows your skirt up baby It’s O-O-OK by me
