Born Tayt Fairchild of two roulette wheelers
Whom the lord diddeth ask for twins
The lord diddeth ponder and sent Fairchild yonder
To the arms of the wheelers
Oh welcome our new guest and host Tayt Fairchild
You're paid in full, feel free to be yourself
They told me philanthropy was dead now
Brother have a dime, let me keep you down
Brother man, philanthropy is dead...
Like it was ever there
Made the illness to bring out the healers
Rockefellers to save the Shah
Oh Iran grew irate, took their sons in his place
In the embassy of outlaws
Oh welcome our new guest and host Tayt Fairchild
You're paid in full, feel free to be yourself
They told me philanthropy was dead now
Brother have a dime, let me keep you down
Brother man, philanthropy is dead
Brother man
Still welcome out new guest and host Tayt Fairchild
May there be enough for everybody else
They told me philanthropy was dead now
Brother have a dime, let me keep you down
Philanthropy is dead
Brother will you take the dime instead?
Grow Tayt Fairchild to suma cum wheeler
May you know as above, so below
So when there's revealing, and all else is freaking
Each breath it comes and goes
Oh welcome our new guest and host Tayt Fairchild
You're paid in full, feel free to be yourself
They told me philanthropy was dead now
Brother have a dime, let me keep you down
Philanthropy is dead
Brother man
Still welcome our new guest and host Tayt Fairchild
May there be enough for everybody else
They told me philanthropy was dead now
Brother have a dime, let me keep you down
Philanthropy is dead
Brother won't you take the dime instead
