Rilo Kiley - It's A Hit Lyrics
Any chimp can play human for a day.Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniformand run for office on election dayfancy himself a real decision makerand deploy more troops than salt shakers.But it's a jungle when war is made,and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.A smoking gun holding ape.Any ***** can open up a museum.Put all of the things he loves on displayso everyone could see them.The house, a car, a thoughtful wifeordinary moments in his ordinary life.But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you away'cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness.No one wants to pay to see your day to dayand I'm not buying it eitherbut I'll try selling it anyway.Any idiot can play Greek for a dayand join a sorority or write a tragedyand articulating all that painand maybe you'll get paid.But it's a sin when success complains,and your writers block- it don't mean shit.Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.Gotta write a hit.I think this is it.It's a hit.And if it's not,then it's a holiday for hangingyeah it's a holiday for hangingyeah it's a holiday for hangingyeah it's a holiday for hangingyeah shoo-bop-shoo-bop my babyAny fool can play executioner for a day,and say with fingers pointed in both directions'he went thataway',It's only a switch or syringe,aww, exempt from eternal sins.But you still wear a cross,and you think you're gonna get in.Ah, but the pardons never come from up-stairs.They're always a moment too late,but it's entertainmentkeep the crowd on their toes,it's justice, we're safe.It's not a hit, it's a holidayshoo-bop-shoo-bop my babyIt's a holiday for hanging, yeahIt's a holiday for hanging, yeahIt's a holiday for hanging, yeahIt's a holiday for hanging, yeahI'm a holiday for hanging,I'm a holiday for hanging,I'm a holiday yeahI'm a holiday for hanging,It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
