Subject: Lyr Add: When He's Done With Us - Scott Cook
He's the hero in every story he tells There's never been anything like everything he sells He's got no 'cause for doubt or shame And never has to shift the blame It just always lands on someone else He's the hero in every story he tells
But he understands the common people's strife Though he might have the biggest house and the most expensive wife You can bet he'll take our side Even if he never learned to drive Or did an honest day's work in his life He understands the common people's strife
CH: If he was here with us, would he have a beer with us? Would he shed a tear with us and say I love you too? Is he one of us or just having fun with us? And when he's done with us, what are we gonna do?
He's got slick nicknames for everyone he heckles They just make it too easy with their stutter or their freckles He'll reward faithful shills But he won't always pay his bills While they're complaining, he's just counting shekels He's got slick nicknames for everyone he heckles
And he earned all the gold in his castle You could be as rich as him if you'd gone to the hassle Push will always come to shove It's suckers who believe in love Mama's boys might say he's just an asshole But he earned all the gold in his castle
