Will Wood - The Main Character lyrics
[Will Wood - The Main Character lyrics]
I’m that first person they talk
About in all the books
I’m that perspective you cannot doubt
See how I look
Control the narrative reliably, baby
It’s all about me
And I wrote the book about throwing the book
At those who don’t do it by it
So now I’m holding myself hostage
Stockholm lust just looks like justice
And enough lefts don’t make the
Right but two wrongs do
Oh man, Sun Tzu would love this!
Beating my dead high horse off the
High road to low ground
‘Cause if you shake your fist
At snakes in grass
It looks like punching down
So god forbid I’m seen just
As an average human being
I mean
Imagine if protagonists just died
In the first scene
I’m the gap between a tragedy and comedy
Don’t come at me
I’m the main character and you
Have to like me
I loot plot armor from NPC’s
Well, they are to me
Trite tropes, trait's, traumas, trinkets
And treats; it's all XP
Look in the sky, it’s a
Bird! It’s a plane! No
It’s superego!
The underdog you cheer for
Villains are everywhere
That’s how I know that I’m the hero!
So tie me to the train tracks
Laugh and snidely twist your mustache
Snidely Whiplash, Boris Badenov
Ignoring me’s bad enough
Where do you get off? Da, das vedanya
Darling
Daleks in high collars monologue
And I outsmart
Them with a ray-gun and a tweet
So god forbid I’m seen just
As an average human being
I mean imagine if protagonists just
Died in the first scene
I’m the gap between a tragedy and comedy
Don’t come at me
I’m the main character and you
Have to like me

Judge me by what my cover shows
Author becomes beyond reproach
You don’t know the prose or if
The spine is still intact
Oh, like Alice fell to Wonderland
Come astroturf my Overton
And bolden my demand to
Live by alternative facts
Her majesty says "The Royal We
Demand a standard of loyalty
An agreement to be reverent
Lick the emperor’s new boots
The court fool got the guillotine
The witches the stake
You the dopamine
And Siemens made the Zyklon B but
We all still get the flu
We all do what we need to to get through
(It’s nothing new)
But I ain’t done a fucking thing to you!"
So god forbid I’m seen just
As an average human being
I mean imagine if antagonists
Lacked any evil scheme
I’m the gap between a tragedy and comedy
Don’t come at me
I’m the main character and you
Have to like me
About in all the books
I’m that perspective you cannot doubt
See how I look
Control the narrative reliably, baby
It’s all about me
And I wrote the book about throwing the book
At those who don’t do it by it
So now I’m holding myself hostage

And enough lefts don’t make the
