Napoleon (Living In Clip 25th Anniversary Edition - 2022 Remaster)
They told you your music
Could reach millions
The choice was up to you
You told me they always
Pay for lunch
And they believe in what I do
And I wonder, will
Will you miss your old friends
Once you've proven what you're worth? Yeah
Yeah, I wonder when
When you're a big star
Will you miss the earth?
And I know you'd always, always want more
And you would never, never be done
Oh, 'cause everyone is a fucking Napoleon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, everyonе is a fucking Napoleon
And the next timе
That I saw you
You were larger than life
Yeah, you came and you conquered, yeah
You were doing alright
You had an army
Of suits behind you
All you had to be was willing
But I said I still
Make a pretty good living, uh
But you must make a killing
A killing
And I hope that, that you are happy
I hope at least you are having fun
Well, 'cause everyone is a fucking Napoleon
Oh, oh, yeah, everyone is a fucking Napoleon, yeah, yeah, yeah
You think that is
That's the way it's gonna be, yeah
That's what this is all about
And I think that that's
The way it always was
You chose not to notice until now
Well, now, now that, 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, that you dialed my number 'cause
'Cause you thought for sure that, that I'd agree
And I said, "Baby, you, you know I still love you
But how dare you complain to me?
Oh, 'cause everyone is a fucking Napoleon
Oh, yeah, everyone is a fucking Napoleon, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Everyone is a fucking Napoleon, yeah
Oh, oh, everyone is a fucking Napoleon
