lyrics

It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer

You had it easy with that silver spoon
You treat the rest of us like a cartoon
You seem to think we owe you loyalty
Like you're some twisted form of royalty
You have it all, yes, it’s understood
Still not enough, so you’re up to no good
Consumed completely by unending greed
Forget the hungry, you’ve an ego to feed, oh

It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer

It doesn't matter if we point and jeer
You'll simply stick your fingers in your ears
Block out the criticism, what do we know?
Turn on the spotlight and on with the show
Only admire the devious
They are your measure of genius
How can we see their acts as anything wrong?
If we don't get it, better just sing along, oh

It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer

about

The Photocopies Michigan

Unapologetically old-school #indiepop in a mid-80s-to-early-90s vein, made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh). Think lo-fi #c86 #twee #postpunk #janglepop etc. Originally from London.

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time _hopskipjump
