Cult Leader
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
I wanna see, I want you to be
Hanging from the end, from the end of my string
Teach ya how to live, teach ya how to live right
Do what I say, it'll all be alright
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
(Come on!)
(Everybody!)
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
Tie you to the bed, fuck you up in the head
You be the needle, I'll be the thread
God bless the kids, God bless the beasts
God bless the liars, the dead, and the cheats
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
Believe in me when you give up on yourself
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
They wouldn't have you, have you anywhere else
(They wouldn't have you)
You're on your back now and I am the one
That got you into the light
Believe in me when you give up on yourself
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
(Let's go!)
Everybody
This ain't no party (yeah!)
This ain't no movie
This ain't no fucking around
Believe in me when you give up on yourself
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
They wouldn't have you, have you anywhere else
(They wouldn't have you)
You're on your back now and I am the one
That got you into the light
Believe in me when you give up on yourself
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
I wanna be, I wanna be your
I wanna be your cult leader
