Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On A Shaker Hymn), The

You try to play cool like you just don't care

But soon I'll be playing in your underwear

I'm like a mage with the magic spell

You come like a dog when I ring your bell

I got the money, and I got the fame

You got the hots to ride on my plane

You giving me all that I desire

'Cause down with me I'm taking you higher

I'm the baddest of the bad

I'm the best that you've ever had

I'm the tops, I'm the thing

All the girls get up when I sing, yeah

I'm the meanest in the place

Step up, I'll mess with your face

I don't care where you are

Look up and follow the star

I, I'm gonna tear down the wall

I may not be here when you call

So best be giving me your all

After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak

No more words will critics have to speak

I've got the answers to the tangled knot

Sleep tight in your cot

Oh baby, I've been told I'm going crazy

Oh baby, well I can't be held down

Oh baby, somehow I'm keeping it steady

Oh baby, I'm tearing up this town

Hey, this is what I like

Cut my heart with a martyr's spike

Hey, this is nothing new

I've got more than enough for you

I can take on anybody

I can do my thing

I don't wanna hurt nobody, but a bee has got to sting

I'mma fix it if you mix it up, hoot, hoot

Talk smack, and I'm-a gonna shut you up, hoot, hoot

I am the greatest man that ever lived

I was born to give (I was born to give)

I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh

Radioactive (radioactive)

Somebody said all the world's a stage

And each of us is a player

That's what I've been tryin' to tell you

In Act 1, I was struggling to survive

Nobody wanted my action dead or alive

Act 2, I hit the big time

And bodies be all up on my behind

And I can't help myself because I was born to shine

And if you don't like it, you can shove it

But you don't like it, you love it

So I'll be up here in a rage

'Til they bring the curtain down on the stage

I'm the greatest man that ever lived (I'm the greatest man that ever lived)

I'm the greatest man that ever lived (I'm the greatest man that ever lived)

I am the greatest man that ever lived

I was born to give and give and give

I am the greatest man that ever lived

Radioactive (radioactive)

I am the greatest man that ever lives

I was born to give
