My mama asked me this

I'm going to be an allog with a whole bunch of rockets

I get them two sides fighting and I empty both of their pockets

       F       C  A7
And if I got bored or money weary
 D             G
I try my hand in dabbling in social engineer

  D
We used to rule in shadows
D
But I'd come right out and I'd rule the nation

You can die in slow installments and I'll bleed you while I can

And I travel around the planet and a big old mystery jet
    D7
What I did would be my business
       G
And what you did I would collect
      F
If I was a philanthropist just runnin' around
     A7      D
Philanthropisting not a whole lot of help
           G
Just for myself but I got to make it look convincing
