Lyrics / Letter A / Ani Difranco Songs

they told you your music
could reach millions
that the choice was up to you
and you told me they always
pay for lunch
and they believe in what i do
and i wonder
will you miss your old friends
once you've proven what you're worth
yeah i wonder
when you're a big star
will you miss the earth
i knew you would always want more
i knew you would never be done
'cuz everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
and the next time
that i saw you
you were larger than life
you came and you conquered
you were doing alright
you had an army
of suits behind you
all you had to be was willing
and i said i still
make a pretty good living
but you must make a killing
a killing
i hope that you are happy
i hope at least you are having fun
'cuz everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah, everyone is a fucking napoleon
now you think, so that is
the way it's gonna be
that's what this is all about
and i think that is
they way it always was
you chose not to notice until now
yeah now that there's a problem
you call me up to confide
and you gon on for over an hour
'bout each one that took you for a ride
and i guess that you dialed my number
'cuz you thought for sure that i'd agree
and i say baby, you know i still love you
but how dare you complain to me
everyone is a fucking napoleon
yeah everyone is a fucking napoleon
