The Only Baby - John Grant

So you ventured out into the new world

To spread your seed in every land you could find

To take by force whatever you could get your hands on

You said «We're gonna take whatever place on the map my finger lands on»

We’ll show them savages who’s calling all the shots

We’ll give them education which they could have got without us

We’ll strip the land and force her to put out

And if we don’t get what we want we’ll put it in her mouth

This is really hard I think we’re gonna need some slaves

We’ll drag some people back to here

And we’ll make them dig their very own graves

We’ll give them clothes and teach them to behave

And they will like it or else

Because «God» obviously want it that way

This should destroy their spirits and crush their sense of self

And when we see the effect this has

We’ll blame it on the people themselves

And if they complain we’ll pour an oceans worth of sugar and drugs on top

And then we’ll get some bald guy wearing a suit to go on TV and berate them

when they cannot stop

And we’ll shun the ones who do not get the christian diseases

Like cancer, MS, heart failure, Lou Gehrig’s Codependency and diabetes

We know which ones come from our father in the sky

And we know which ones were designed by the «other guy»

That thing in the White House is beholden to a deity

It’s the same one we are and it’s name is the economy

Imaginary numbers dance like Vegas showgirls in his head

And when the veil is lifted

You’re gonna wish that you were dead

And now we’ve gotten all the things we could ever want

Like cars, milk frothers, crime and book from self-help authors

And coal and diamonds, buildings oil and lots of steel

And every moment was worth it

I’m sorry, that’s just how I feel

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

That’s the only baby that bitch could have

Don’t look so glum, there’s no reason to feel sad

Cause baby, that’s the only baby that bitch could ever have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

That’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Yeah, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Yeah, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

That’s the only baby that bitch could have

Yeah, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

Well, that’s the only baby that bitch could have

That’s the only baby that bitch could have
