lyrics

Times like these are too scary
When lies sound credible
When every piece of info received
Comes with a grain of salt

You can’t believe what you read online
And you can’t trust every book
Everyone’s wrong, everyone lies
If you don’t know where to look

Who do you trust?
When nobody can agree
What side do you choose?
When we’re all in a fight
Now you’re in luck!
Now that you’ve come to me
I’m gonna show you
The light

Oh thank god I’m just in time
To give the gift of my opinion
Aren’t you glad I saved your life
With the gift of my opinion

Everything will become clear
When I give you my opinion
You’ll face the world without fear
When I give you my opinion

So-called “experts” don’t know shit
Except the ones who pass my test
The best advice? Listen to who I like
And just ignore the rest

No more research, no more strife
I’ve saved you so much time
The clouds all part, the sun shines bright
When I grace you with my mind

Don’t you think the world’s so fine
When it’s blessed with my opinion
The birds all sing, the stars align
When I give you my opinion

Let me tell you about all the people who
Will try to infiltrate your mind
Calculated, trained persuasion to get you on their side
And what questions you may have
You can lay them down to rest
Because of all opinions far and wide
I know mine are the best

Me, me, me me me (x3)
Me (x13)

The world would be a better place
If we all had my opinion
Everyone should shut their face
And cheer for my opinion

Give it up one more time
For the gift of my opinion
