"You Can"

You can have huge parties and make everyone come
You can make those bastards pretend they're having fun
You can can yell out loud at those that make you mad
You can totally destroy the self-respect that they had

You can give the kind-hearted people a reason to cry
You have the power to make an honest man lie
You can take what you've got and give out so much wealth
And there's nothing you can think about 'cept your fucking self

You can take the free and put 'em into the chains
You can make the innocent seem the ones to blame
You can throw away truth and say it's a lie
You can give them their visions and snatch out their eyes

You can take your aggressions and make them seem so tame
I could be like you but I have no scapegoat to blame
You can take this world and send it all to Hell
and there is nothing that I can do except for save myself

You can make a goose lay pretty eggs of gold
You can force those beneath to do what they're told
You can use your outfit as a clever disguise
You can rule forty years and they'll never grow wise

And before the end they will know
That you'll execute the fairest one and all
And before the end they will know
That you can destroy their pretty little soul
And before the end they will know
That they won't last long into the fall
And in the end they will know
That you are the fairest one of them all

You can force time to stand at an end
You can turn a foe into a friend
You can capture Ali and his forty thieves
You can use your hands to cure a disease
