The Patsy Lyrics

Who knows how the fire got started?
A bunch of gurus in a darkened room
You can sell anything
If you massage the spin
All you need is a patsy to groom
Someone to do the talking
Ready and willing to crawl
The dinosaur's wearing a brand new suit
And the stars are ready to fall
Check out his face on the billboard
Check out his sequins and bows
Well the gurus will watch every move that he makes
Just to see how the campaign grows
Seemed like battle worth fighting
Like a good idea at the time
The balloon went down
It was all over town
Someone had to swing for the crime
We'll go down for the sin of believing But we'll rise for the last curtain call
We were under his spell singing Heartbreak Hotel
For the last patsy to fall
His knees will be broken by sunset
Still he giggled like a choir boy
The whistle was blown
The patsy got thrown
Now the chairman is crushing his toy
You could hear Beethoven roll over
There was too much smoke in the room
The gurus were there gasping for air
Stumbling around in the gloom
They said the risk was worth taking
So we'll stand for the last curtain call
We were under his spell
Singing Heartbreak Hotel
For the last patsy to fall
