A Steady Hand

A word to the wise And then silence was king You tried it for size You needed something to believe in I am not familiar with the words And I am not familiar with the actions You lead and I will follow I cannot conjugate the verbs correctly I cannot seem to get my point across effectively I'm a stranger in my own country I dance and they watch me I dance and they watch me I'm a steady hand I have hoops to jump through I dance and they watch me I dance and they watch me We dust ourselves off and It's on with the show It is all that we want It is all that we want The lesser of evils The devil we know It is all that we want It is all that we want I will pick up the pieces when You give up the ghost It is all that we want It is all that we want And the truth is a dog But your cheque's in the post It is all that we want It is all that we want Take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror And tell me the first thing That comes into your head I am the president I am the president I am the overfed bigoted Son of an immigrant And you're all sailors Every last one of you Every last one of you In the same boat We dust ourselves off and It's on with the show It is all that we want It is all that we want The lesser of evils The devil we know It is all that we want It is all that we want I will pick up the pieces when You give up the ghost It is all that we want It is all that we want And the truth is a dog But your cheque's in the post It is all that we want It is all that we want Brown paper packages tied up with string It is all that we want It is all that we want But it's never enough And so it begins It is all that we want It is all that we want I'm a steady hand I have hoops to jump through It is all that we want It is all that we want Your eyes to the front It is all that we want It is all that we want It is all that we want Your eyes burn holes in the back of my head Is it something I said? I know my place Is it something I said? Eyes to the front Is it something I said?
