It`s A Hit lyrics

Artist  : Rilo Kiley 
Song : It`s A Hit



 Send "It`s A Hit" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Any chimp can play human for a day.

Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform

      and run for office on election day

     fancy himself a real decision maker

  and deploy more troops than salt shakers.



           But it's a jungle when war is
made,

and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the
enemy.

  The camera pulls back to reveal your true
identity.

        Look, it's a sheep in wolf's
clothing.

           A smoking gun holding ape.



       Any asshole can open up a museum.

      Put all of the things he loves on
display

            so everyone could see them.

         The house, a car, a thoughtful wife

        ordinary moments in his ordinary
life.



   But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you
away

'cause no one wants to pay to see your
happiness.

   No one wants to pay to see your day to day

          and I'm not buying it either

         but I'll try selling it anyway.



       Any idiot can play Greek for a day

      and join a sorority or write a tragedy

         and articulating all that pain

           and maybe you'll get paid.



    But it's a sin when success complains,

   and your writers block-it don't mean shit.

Just throw it against the wall and see what
sticks.

                Gotta write a hit

               I think this is it.

                   It's a hit.



               And if it's not, 

       then it's a holiday for hanging

       yeah it's a holiday for hanging

       yeah it's a holiday for hanging

       yeah it's a holiday for hanging

       yeah shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby 



     Any fool can play executioner for a day,

  and say with fingers pointed in both
directions

              'he went thataway',

         It's only a switch or syringe,

          aww, exempt from eternal sins.

           But you still wear a cross,

       and you think you're gonna get in.



Ah, but the pardons never come from
up-stairs.

       They're always a moment too late,

             but it's entertainment

         keep the crowd on their toes, 

           it's justice, we're safe.

         It's not a hit, it's a holiday

           shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby



        It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

        It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

        It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

        It's a holiday for hanging, yeah



            I'm a holiday for hanging, 

            I'm a holiday for hanging,

               I'm a holiday yeah

           I'm a holiday for hanging,





          It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
