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