there's one guy I'd like to thank   he signs the checks and leaves them blank   he's the one   he says you don't have to walk a plank   the game is rigged, go fig your   slide show tanked   and your flagship sank      so we're taking all our myths to the bank   so just don't forget who to thank   we're taking our myths to the   drinking a fifth to the   we're taking all our myths to the bank      if you could just do him this favor   although it might involve child labor   join his entourage   give him a foot massage   from Star Search to the Philharmonic   he'll get you there with Hooked on Phonics   he's the one to know   doesn't matter if you blow - no no      in fact it's just the thing   he thinks we're needing   it's a lukewarm liquid diet   they're force feeding   when the words we use have lost their bite   now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight   but it's all right   cause you're inside   and you're in tight      deals in commodities of the abstract sort   buys them in bulk but sells them short   talent, genius. love even signs of affection   he floods the market there's no price protection   and when his master plan is unfurled   there stands a handsome bid on the weather systems of the world
