Verse 1
You've got no vision for the long run
You've got no sense of history
You've got the world at your fingertips
And now you have it crumblin'
Pre-Chorus 1
But if you look back far enough
And find the place you started
Before you held a grudge
Or the highest office
You do nothing every year
But you're showin' up on the red carpet
Chorus
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
And it ain't you
Verse 2
I said “Give it to me straight”
Things got crooked
I said “Who's sticking around”
For all the heavy lifting
You ain't no robin hood Nope
Never been to this neighbourhood Nope
Thought you said this would be easy
Pre-Chorus 2
But I can smell it on ya
You're some aristocrat
I said “It takes a village”
And you can't handle that
Well I already know
How the history books will react
Chorus
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
And it ain't you
Bridge
All my girls say
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
All my dudes go
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
Verse 3
Now here's the official statement:
We're street fighting on the pavement
I'm going dancing like I'm raving
There's no service in the basement
Now I don't mean to sound impatient
But I've seen the flag you're waving
And I can see through all this fake shit
This highest office's sitting vacant
Pre-Chorus 3
But if you look back far enough
And find the place you started
I promise you no charlatan
Has ever died a martyr
You do nothing every year
But you're showing up on the red carpet
Chorus
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'm looking for the people's champ
I'm looking for the people's champ
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh
And it ain't you
