ANI DIFRANCO LYRICS - Napoleon

"Napoleon"



they told you your music

could reach millions

that the choice was up to you

you told me they always

pay for lunch

and they believe in what i do

and i wonder

if you miss your old friends

once you've proven what you're worth

yeah i wonder

when you're a big star

will you miss the earth



and i know you would always want more

i know you would never be done

'cuz everyone is a fucking napoleon

yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon



and the next time

that i saw you

you were larger than life

you came and you conquered

you were doing alright

you had an army

of suits behind you

and all you had to be was willing

and i said i still

make a pretty good living

you must make a killing

a killing



and i hope that you are happy

i hope at least you are having fun

'cuz but everyone is a fucking napoleon

yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon



now you think, so that is

the way it's gonna be

that's what this is all about

i think that that is

the way it always was

you chose not to notice until now

yeah now that there's a problem

you call me up to confide

and you go on for over an hour

'bout each one that took you for a ride



and i guess that you dialed my number

'cuz you thought for sure that i'd agree

i said baby, you know i still love you

but how dare you complain to me



everyone is a fucking napoleon

yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
