Million Dead To Whom it may Concern Lyrics

Tonight will be the last night
of my record-breakingly successful run
in the lead role of the greatest play of the century.
Unprecedentedly warm praise from critics and public alike
has met my portrayal of a man at his desk
who gives a d___.

"Oh, oh, oh, if I could only see the clear blue sky
from my office window,
then oh, oh, it would only take a steel grey day
and I'd take my bow."

And I'd like to thank all my friends and fans
for always pushing me to soldier on.
So one last time (for the cameras) my greatest soliloquy:

"Oh, oh, oh, if I could only see the clear blue sky
from my office window,
then oh, oh, it would only take a steel grey day
and I'd take my bow."

To whom it may concern: I'd like to nominate myself
to receive an award as a small symbol of recognition
for my body of work - a lifetime of selling my body to pay the bills.
But my heart and my mind are mine, mine,
you will not win this war - this is just a battle.
Oh, oh, oh, well I've surrendered you my physical attendance here,
but no, no, no, you will not take my soul - lest we forget why I'm sitting here.

My letter to the human resources department says
"You started a war so you'll get what you started."

I'm only working here because I need the f___ing money.
