"Charlie 2 (The Money Grab)" lyrics
Before the light, we're at our darkest
And I know how dark it gets
The demons and the angels that you bargain with
It's hard, but perhaps we can market it
Charlie's story was poignant and funny
So let's exploit it for money
See, with no devil or God, he'd be intellectual property
And a soul is worth a lot in this economy, it's gotta be
Let's make him more handsome; a man bun, a handgun
Blowing away the demons that he ran from (Damn, son)
Charlie has got another anthem
His fans are too impatient for reincarnation
They need some kind of savior to save them
Or at least somebody savior-adjacent
So if I may, then, let's remake him
Copyright, license the rights to his likeness
His face on the apps of all your devices
Just sign on the line that's provided
We can all be polite and self-righteous
Designed and refined by committee
Less kind and forgiving, more gritty
Aligned with the times that we're living
Movies parlayed into a franchise
Watered down, sanitized
Now Charlie can't die
Excuse me, sir, you've got that look that we've been looking for
Music, film, and television, we can get you in the door
You could live forever, win awards
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you mistook me for
Music, film, and television, we can get you in the door
While the crowd around you begs for more
Well, I know you miss him dearly, though
And are cheering for a miracle
But rejection of the spiritual
Will help you worship the material
Let's see what makes him tick, his mistakes, his relationships
Charlie takes a trip to outer space to battle atheists
There's no limit to the waste that we could make of it
Designed and refined by committee
Less kind and forgiving, more gritty
Aligned with the times that we're living
Movies parlayed into a franchise
Watered down, sanitized
Now Charlie can't die
Excuse me, sir, you've got that look that we've been looking for
Music, film, and television, we can get you in the door
You could live forever, get applause
Excuse me, sir, there must be someone you mistook me for
Music, film, and television, we can get you in the door
While the crowd around you begs for more
