Lyrics for The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On A Shaker Hymn)

You try to play cool like you just don't care But soon I'll be playing in your underwear I'm like a mage with the magic spell You come like a dog when I ring your bell I got the money, and I got the fame You got the hots to ride on my plane You giving me all that I desire 'Cause down with me I'm taking you higher I'm the baddest of the bad I'm the best that you've ever had I'm the tops, I'm the thing All the girls get up when I sing, yeah I'm the meanest in the place Step up, I'll mess with your face I don't care where you are Look up and follow the star I, I'm gonna tear down the wall I may not be here when you call So best be giving me your all After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak No more words will critics have to speak I've got the answers to the tangled knot Sleep tight in your cot Oh baby, I've been told I'm going crazy Oh baby, well I can't be held down Oh baby, somehow I'm keeping it steady Oh baby, I'm tearing up this town Hey, this is what I like Cut my heart with a martyr's spike Hey, this is nothing new I've got more than enough for you I can take on anybody I can do my thing I don't wanna hurt nobody, but a bee has got to sting I'mma fix it if you mix it up, hoot, hoot Talk smack, and I'm-a gonna shut you up, hoot, hoot I am the greatest man that ever lived I was born to give (I was born to give) I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh Radioactive (radioactive) Somebody said all the world's a stage And each of us is a player That's what I've been tryin' to tell you In Act 1, I was struggling to survive Nobody wanted my action dead or alive Act 2, I hit the big time And bodies be all up on my behind And I can't help myself because I was born to shine And if you don't like it, you can shove it But you don't like it, you love it So I'll be up here in a rage 'Til they bring the curtain down on the stage I'm the greatest man that ever lived (I'm the greatest man that ever lived) I'm the greatest man that ever lived (I'm the greatest man that ever lived) I am the greatest man that ever lived I was born to give and give and give I am the greatest man that ever lived Radioactive (radioactive) I am the greatest man that ever lives I was born to give
