Ani DiFranco › Lyrics › Napoleon [New Version]

They told you your music, could reach millions
That the choice is up to you
You told me they always pay for lunch
And they believe in what I do
And I wonder if we miss your old friends
Once you've proven what you're worth
Yeah, yeah I wonder, when, when you're a big star
Will you miss the earth?

And I know you would always, always want more
I know you would never, never be done

'Cuz everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
Yeah everyone is a f*****' Napoleon

And the next time that I saw you
You were larger than life
Yeah you came and you conquered
Yeah you were doin' alright
You had an army of suits behind you
All you had to be was willing
And I said, "I still make a pretty good living"
What you must make a killing, a killing

And I hope that, that you are happy
I hope at least you are having fun

'Cuz but everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
Everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now you think that is, that's the way it's gonna be
Yeah that's what this is all about
And I think that, that's the way it always was
You chose not to notice until' now
Oh yeah now that, now that there's a problem
You call me up to confide
And you go on for over an hour
'Bout each one that took you for a ride

And I guess that, that you dialed my number
'Cuz, 'cuz you thought for sure that, that I'd agree
And I said, "Baby you, you know I still love you
But how dare you complain to me?"

'Cuz everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
Oh everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Everyone is a f*****' Napoleon, yeah
Oh everyone is a f*****' Napoleon
