lyrics

Here we are at the end of the record
I hope you enjoyed it
It took a lot of effort
You learned a lot about me
I didn't learn about you
'Cause I'm a recording
And that'd be hard to do
There's one more thing now
I want to say
My deepest desire
I've kept locked away
You're the first person I've told
Or maybe the third
I have no way to know
Because again
I'm a record
Anyway as I was saying
It's confession time
Time for my secret
That will blow your mind

I'm the fucking best
I'm the fucking greatest
I know that's a lot to take in
But hey, it's just true
How lucky are you
That I sing and you get to listen
I am the next step in human evolution
I am Homo deus
Einstein and Da Vinci
Look up to me
And so do Jesus and Zeus
I'm the best there is
Don't argue
It's no use

I wanted to write
A song you would like
But couldn't figure out the right way
I had a talk with myself
Said, come out of your shell
What's keeping you from seizing the day
And that is when I realized
I shouldn't compromise
I am so sensational
You could never understand
The power in my hands
Why try to be relatable
When I'm fundamentally different from you
And our brains are not compatible

So now you know I'm the best
I can tell you're impressed
'Cause nobody is better than me
And everybody is worse
It's not your fault you're cursed
To always live in utter envy
So what will I do next, you ask
Well it's a noble task
I will cull the timid
I will flood the earth and redesign
This whole species
In my own image
Because I'm just that good
Yeah that's definitely the reason
It's not 'cause I'm insecure
And can't deal with my feelings
I don't just make up all this shit
'Cause I feel inadequate
It's not like I'm scared to be real
That if I were to reveal to you
That my heart is messy
You would only reject me
Ha ha that's just silly
No, it's 'cause I'm the king
And destroying the lower beings
Is my royal privilege
