"The Only Baby" lyrics
"The Only Baby"
So you ventured out into the new world
To spread your seed in every land you could find
To take by force whatever you could get your hands on
You said "We're gonna take whatever place on the map my finger lands on"
We'll show them savages who's calling all the shots
We'll give them education which they could have got without us
We'll strip the land and force her to put out
And if we don't get what we want we'll put it in her mouth
This is really hard I think we're gonna need some slaves
We'll drag some people back to here
And we'll make them dig their very own graves
We'll give them clothes and teach them to behave
And they will like it or else
Because "God" obviously want it that way
This should destroy their spirits and crush their sense of self
And when we see the effect this has
We'll blame it on the people themselves
And if they complain we'll pour an oceans worth of sugar and drugs on top
And then we'll get some bald guy wearing a suit to go on TV and berate them when they cannot stop
And we'll shun the ones who do not get the christian diseases
Like cancer, MS, heart failure, Lou Gehrig's Codependency and diabetes
We know which ones come from our father in the sky
And we know which ones were designed by the "other guy"
That thing in the White House is beholden to a deity
It's the same one we are and it's name is the economy
Imaginary numbers dance like Vegas showgirls in his head
And when the veil is lifted
You're gonna wish that you were dead
And now we've gotten all the things we could ever want
Like cars, milk frothers, crime and book from self-help authors
And coal and diamonds, buildings oil and lots of steel
And every moment was worth it
I'm sorry, that's just how I feel
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
That's the only baby that bitch could have
Don't look so glum, there's no reason to feel sad
Cause baby, that's the only baby that bitch could ever have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
That's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
That's the only baby that bitch could have
Yeah, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby that bitch could have
That's the only baby that bitch could have
