lyrics

Mr. Mouse was a shy old lad and he danced in Missouri for deadbeat dads
And no one ever knew what he’d become
One day
So after many years he had a caravan
To travel round the world and take because he can
And just wait til he’s done
There’ll be nothing left

Cuz he don’t care about me or you
He only cares about what he can fit in his shoes
His big dumb comically oversized shoes
If he keeps this bullshit I’ll soon be through
But the story’s not over
Let’s go back a few years shall we?

Mr. Mouse started out so strong
With his newspaper comics and his advert songs
And who helped him to get there?
Well it was me
He teamed up with me from an early age
And together we made more than a living wage
But where do you see me, all these years later?

Neither him nor I live on
And yet I’m the one who’s singing this song
If you have yet to figure out my riddle then I pity you
So let’s look back through the past
Until you see the truth

Mr. Mouse he had so many friends
And he’d do whatever it took to reach the end
And then one day he died
But that didn’t matter at all
Cuz from beyond the grave he never stopped taking
And he took so many billionaires under his wings
And they all make damn sure
That you know who he is

Cuz the world is a great big bowl of soup
But don’t worry cuz he only has one spoon
One big dumb comically oversized spoon
And an appetite that’s endless like his cartoons

All around the world you hear the cries of someone dying
And who is it you blame?
The answer it seems obvious but you’re wrong, you just don’t realize
That him and I we’re both the same
