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

But it's a jungle when war is made
and you'll panic and throw your own shit 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 asshole can open up a museum
Put all of the things he loves on display 
so everyone could see them
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 articulating 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 shit
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 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 thataway
It's only a switch or syringe, 
exempt from eternal sins. 
But you still wear a cross, 
and you think you're gonna get in 

Ah, 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 shoobop, my baby 

It's a holiday for hangin, yeah 
It's a holiday for hangin, yeah 
It's a holiday for hangin, yeah 
It's a holiday for hangin, yeah 

I'm a holiday for hangin, 
I'm a holiday for hangin, 
I'm a holiday yeah 
I'm a holiday for hangin, 

It's a holiday for hangin', yeah
