Good for the Great (prod. Matt and Kim)

lyrics

What I'm planning would be bad for managers:
All the workers would be certain to dip if I'd commanded them.
The curtains would be perfectly ripped over the canopy,
and this circus would collapse to catastrophe.
What I'm seeing would be evil for leaders:
all the people they needed would be released, and then leave 'em.
They'd be left without peons and free dope;
we'd take freedom and power and leave cheap hope.
What I'm suggesting is a mess for economists:
all these dollars would be worth less than piss if I was running it.
With policies dissolving quick, they'd be sobbing,
“Aw shit. What the fuck we gon' do now? We're all wet.”
What I think would be bad for the kings:
they would bleed if they ain't had underlings.
And everything they stood for would break,
but that'd be good for the great.

Yes!

It'd be good for the health of Earth's animals,
plants, rocks, rivers and trees,
the whole planet would benefit
from us making civilization stop
(humans included, too. We'd be better off.)
What I want would be awesome for artists and poets,
farmers and lovers and movers would
harness and harvest it fully.
Real change would erase our slavery:
no more rat-race wage-pain facing each of us,
plus, it'd be helpful for the people who do
nothing else but work so that all of us can sleep well,
like coal miners and street-cleaners,
like queens who turn tricks so that their kids can eat dinner.
Yeah, it'd be sweeter
for the sick invalids,
‘cause if we were healthier we'd be diseased less.
It'd be beneficial
for the ecosystems
and the species in 'em
with no pieces missing.

If this stops, it'd be bad for the bad.
Villains would call it evil.
Killers, it'd be make 'em sad.
If this stops, it'd be doom for the snakes,
but it'd be good for the great.
