What the World Needs is People Like Me Lyrics by Ride the Cyclone Original Off-Broadway Cast

2020

[KARNAK]
Next!
[OCEAN]
I'm trying to prove to you that I'm a good person!
[KARNAK]
Ne-
[OCEAN]
NUH-NOOO!
I'm urging you to make a responsible choice here, for the betterment of humanity!
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME
TO KEEP IT ALL SPINNING AROUND
I'M THE MOVER, I'M THE SHAKER
I'M THE HEADLINE MAKER
MMM, I GET UP
MMM, I GET UP
AND NO ONE'S GOING
TO GONNA KEEP ME DOWN
OKAY, IT'S CLEAR, I'M THE TOP OF THIS CLASS
AND THESE FOLKS HERE, WELL THEY PUMP THE GAS
OR FETCH ME A COFFEE, SHINE MY SHOES
SOME OF US ARE WINNERS, SOME WERE BORN TO LOSE
YOU GOT THE SANDWICH ARTIST, THE SECURITY GUARD?
THE WALMART GREETER WITH AN OVERDRAWN CREDIT CARD
HE “SMOKE THE SMOKES GANJA”
OOO, IT’S SO GROOVY
TO STAY AT HOME AND WATCH AN ADAM SANDLER MOVIE
SHE SERVES ME COKE AND A MEDIUM FRIES
AND NO THANKS!
I DON'T WANT IT SUPERSIZED
'CAUSE THAT'S LOWCLASS
DIABETES IN A CUP!
KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THINGS WILL LOOK UP
[ALL]
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME
TO KEEP IT ALL SPINNING AROUND
I'M THE MOVER, I'M THE SHAKER
I'M THE HEADLINE MAKER
[OCEAN]
MMM, I GET UP
[CONSTANCE]
SHE GETS UP
[OCEAN]
I GET UP!
AND NO ONE'S GONNA
KEEP ME DOWN
SERIOUSLY?
THIS ONE HERE? HE'S RARIN' TO FAIL!
HE'LL ROB A SEVEN ELEVEN, AND GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL
MAYBE STEAL HUBCAPS, MAYBE STEAL BOOZE
EXPRESSING HIMSELF WITH HIS HOMEMADE TATTOOS!
SOCCER MOM, MINIVAN
FOUR LITTLE BRATS, NO STEADY MAN
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ORGAN DONOR?
Maybe that was a little harsh. Love you!
AHH, DRAGONBALL, POKEMON
HE'S A REAL SWEET KID, BUT HIS BRAINS ARE GONE
AND WHAT'S HE GONNA DO, SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE?
How long’s he got if we feed him through a tube?
[ALL]
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME
TO KEEP IT ALL SPINNING AROUND
I'M THE MOVER, I'M THE SHAKER
I'M THE HEADLINE MAKER
[OCEAN]
MMM, I GET UP
[ENSEMBLE]
SHE GETS UP
[OCEAN]
I GET UP!
AND NO ONE'S GONNA KEEP ME DOWN
AND AS WE MOVE THROUGH LIFE
TO FIND OUR PLACE IN THE CROWD
[ENSEMBLE]
SOME DON'T MAKE THE CUT, THAT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR-O
[OCEAN]
OH YES, OH YES
OH ISN'T SOMEONE KEEPING SCORE?!
I'VE GOT TO SAY IT OUT SO LOUD?!
I MEAN
[ALL]
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ZERO?
OR ZERO?
OR ZERO?
OR ZERO?
OR ZERO?
[OCEAN]
ADD 'EM ALL UP, AND YOU STILL STILL GET ZERO!
WHAT YOU REALLY NEED IS A FUTHER MUCKIN' HERO!
[ENSEMBLE]
AND OH OH
[OCEAN]
HE'LL NEVER LEARN TO READ!
[ENSEMBLE]
AND OH OH
[OCEAN]
HE'S NEVER GONNA BREED!
[ENSEMBLE]
AND OH OH
[OCEAN]
GOING TO JAIL GUARANTEED!
[ENSEMBLE w/o JANE]
AND SHE'S A FREAKY MONSTER!
[ENSEMBLE]
YES, THERE'S A PROBLEM
[OCEAN]
I'M THE SOLUTION
DARWIN HAD A THEORY CALLED...
[ENSEMBLE]
EVOLUTION!
[OCEAN]
HE PUT IT INTO WORDS, BUT IT’S PLAIN TO SEE
WE NEED A LITTLE LESS OF THEM
A LITTLE MORE OF ME!
MEEEEEE!
MEEEEEE!
ME ME
ME ME
ME ME!
OHHHHH!
A LITTLE MORE OF ME!
I GET UP!
I GET UP!
AND NO ONE'S GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!
DOOOOOOWN!
