Jesse Welles (song performance / vocalist)

She said, son, what do you want to be?

I said, a big philanthropist.

We're dead as my oil.

And illness is my business.

With guns is my retirement.

And war is my mistress.

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

I'd get them two sides fighting and I'd empty both of their pockets and if I got bored or money weary, I'd try my hand in dabbling in social engineering.

I'm gonna be a billionaire with a big foundation.

We used to rule in shadows But I'd come right out and I'd rule the nation I'm gonna do all my own laundry In a third world nation state Experiment with the locals Like some philanthropic saint And I'd never make a cure Not get you a treatment plan You can die in slow installments And I'll bleed you while I can And I'd travel around the planet

And a big old mystery jet What I did would be my business And what you did I would collect If I was a philanthropist Just run around philanthropistic Got a whole lot of help just for myself But I gotta make it look convincing You nailed it.

Right.

Right.
