Worse Than a Person

Feels like I'm screaming at a wall
Around a billionaire's broken heart
But its a billion miles away
And the sound don't travel far
And even if I got me a bullhorn
Big enough to talk to God
No one up top wants to hear me talk
They'd either kill me or give me a job

But I ain't scared of robots
Or aliens from outer space
Cause I've seen madness and acts of passion
That don't belong on no stage
I can hold my own with the angels
I'll beat the devil at his own damn game
Oh yeah I ain't worryin'
Cause what could be worse than a person

I've seen thieves and crooks run wild
I've seen a lady shake her tits for cash
I've seen a mother spank her kid screaming and crying
But I think I'll give them all a pass
You know the things I can't even fathom
Are in a meeting room with smoky glass
Or in the dimly lit basement at the Biltmore Estate
Where they're hatching up a master plan

But I ain't scared of robots
Or aliens from outer space
Cause I've seen madness and acts of passion
That don't belong on no stage
If I don't burn up in the inferno
I'm gonna drown in the summer rain
But it don't mean nothing
Cause nothing could be worse than a person

I always wanted to play for the yankees
I heard they only hit grand slams
But a couple of players ran off with the bases
Looked an awful lot like Uncle Sam
So now I'm swinging for the fences
I think I hear em cheering from the stands
And you could end my campaign with a pitch to the face
But someone else will come and take my place

Cause I ain't scared of robots
Or aliens from outer space
Cause all the most horrible acts of passion
Are carried out by my own race
You know that underneath the skin and the costume
There stands a body with a blood-red face
Oh yeah I'm certain
That I've caused some hurtin'
And no one hurts worse than a person
