When I was just a boy
My mother asked me this
"What you wanna be when you grow up?"
I said, "A big philanthropist"
With data as my oil
And illness as my business
With guns as my retirement
And war as my mistress
I'm gonna be an oligarch
With a whole bunch of rockets
I'd get them two sides fightin'
And I'd empty both of their pockets
And if I got bored
Or money-weary
I'd try my hand in gambling
And social engineering
I'm gonna be a billionaire
With a big foundation
We used to rule in shadows
But I'd come right out, and I'd rule the nation
I'm gonna do all my own laundry
And a third-world nation state
Experiment with the locals
Like some philanthropic saint
And I'd never make a cure
And I'd get your treatment plan
You can die in slow installments
And I'll bleed you while I can
And I'll drive around the planet
On a big ol' mystery jet
What I did would be my business
And what you did I would collect
If I were a philanthropist
Just runnin' 'round philanthropisting
Not a whole lot of help just for myself
But I gotta make it look convincing
Go!
