Napoleon Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Napoleon Lyrics

    they told you your music
    could reach millions
    that 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 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

    and i know you would always want more
    i know 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
    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 you are happy
    i hope at least you are having fun
    'cuz but 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
    i think that that is
    the 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 go 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
    i said 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
