Lyrics

I just can't stand it
I hear a happy laugh, I see a smiling face
I just can't have it
You know I'll find a way to put you in your place
Stop what you're doing
You know that I'm superior in every way
I can't be happy
Till everyone's a miserable as me some day

Won't you please
Just think of the children
They're why you need
To do just what I say
We can't have folks
Makin' their own decisions
Admit that I know better
And let me run your life my way

I heard a rumor
That people were having a good time
Well no, that won't do
I want to make laughing and smiling a crime
Comfortable living
Except for me, it's killing the seas and the air
Got a good reason
You're much more docile when you're filled with despair

Won't you please
Just think of the children
They're why you need
To do just what I say
Can't have folks
Makin' their own decisions
Admit that I know better
And let me run your life my way

The latest disaster
Is all you will hear about 24/7
You gotta feel hopeless
So we can make society into heaven
I'll be fine
You little people have to pay the price
Starving and freezing
Gonna ride my limo into paradise

Won't you please
Just think of the children
They're why you need
To do just what I say
Can't have folks
Makin' their own decisions
Admit that I know better
And let me run your life my way
