Alive and Well (in Hell)
They've got a lot to spare themselves
But not enough for no one else
So many things that they can hide
Whenever they are by your side
Shove the homeless out the way
For a princess's big day
Nevermind that they could pay
Shelter for the rest of their days
What a waste
Nepotism is alive and well
In hell, they've got a show to sell
But I can't do this alone
They make out they do it all alone
And you always believe
You can never see
That they've got you on a leash
They've been stringing you along
I can say I've known this all along
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
I wish they'd please spare us their words
From their palace while we thirst
For something most of us deserve
Doing what they preach would be a first
Their sort really are the worst
Nepotism is alive and well
In hell, they've got their friends to sell
They can't do it alone
They have known this all along
They need celebrities
Whom they first meet at the ceremony
Cordon, Elba and Winfrey
They put them over family
Social climbing down the tree
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
But not enough for no one else
So many things that they can hide
Whenever they are by your side
Shove the homeless out the way
For a princess's big day
Nevermind that they could pay
Shelter for the rest of their days
What a waste
Nepotism is alive and well
In hell, they've got a show to sell
But I can't do this alone
They make out they do it all alone
And you always believe
You can never see
That they've got you on a leash
They've been stringing you along
I can say I've known this all along
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
I wish they'd please spare us their words
From their palace while we thirst
For something most of us deserve
Doing what they preach would be a first
Their sort really are the worst
Nepotism is alive and well
In hell, they've got their friends to sell
They can't do it alone
They have known this all along
They need celebrities
Whom they first meet at the ceremony
Cordon, Elba and Winfrey
They put them over family
Social climbing down the tree
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
Ba ba da, ba ba da, ba da-la dum
