Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm logging in to fix what's clearly wrong
My page deserves much better, that's my song
These so-called "facts" they list are incomplete
Without my many wins and victories sweet
Patter Section 1
Dear editors, I must insist you stop removing what I write about my crowd size
It was the biggest ever seen, believe me, many people say it's true, you guys
And why'd you change my net worth back? I know exactly what my buildings cost
The sources that you quote are fake, I'm richer than the numbers that were lost
spoken
Everyone knows it, everyone's talking about it!
Chorus
Why won't they let me edit?
(Why won't they?)
My truth they just don't get it
(They don't get it)
These changes must be made
My greatness on display
But still they won't permit it!
Verse 2
My business sense is truly quite unique
My uncle taught at MIT, such geek
My grades were perfect, ask my schools today
Though records are locked up, that's what I say
Patter Section 2
Now listen here, those lawsuits that you list are very unfair, totally unfounded cases
And what's this "bankruptcy" section? Those were smart moves, strategic market places
I'm adding "stable genius" - don't you dare remove it, that's what doctors called me
spoken
The best doctors, tremendous doctors!
Chorus
Why won't they let me edit?
(Why won't they?)
My truth they just don't get it
(They don't get it)
These changes must be made
My greatness on display
But still they won't permit it!
Breakdown
spoken dramatically
BANNED? They can't ban me! I'm starting my own encyclopedia!
Final Verse
I'll make my own site, bigger than them all
With perfect facts that never, ever fall
No editors to block my righteous path
My truth will shine without their aftermath
Final Chorus - Grandioso
Why won't they let me edit?
The world needs to know!
Their site will soon regret it
As mine starts to grow!
My encyclopedia will be the best
Much better than all the rest
(The very, very best!)
