Song week, part 2

Continuing our Song Week festivities is the latest offering from the star of the O'Franken Factor, radio talk show host and former "funnyman" (?) Al Franken...

O'Franken

I remember all my lies, raining down as cold as ice.

Ripping off the kids, to cover the payroll;
Lyin' in the night, the night goes into
morning back up on the air. Nobody‘s listenin‘ out there.
Looking in their eyes, I see all zombies.
I never realized how stupid I could be.

I’m O’Franken, well, I came and I took without giving, and I won‘t go away.
O’Franken, well, you diss me and make me start shaking, and I’ll send you away.
O‘Franken!

I'm standing on the edge of time; I walked away when fame was mine.
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing,
the tears are on my mind and nothin' is rhyming.

I’m O’Franken, well, I came and I took without giving, and I won‘t go away.
O’Franken, well, you diss me and make me start shaking, and I’ll send you away.
O‘Franken!

Yesterday's a dream, I face the morning
cryin' on the breeze, my pain is callin'

I’m O’Franken, well, I came and I took without giving, and I won‘t go away.
O’Franken, well, you diss me and make me start shaking, and I’ll send you away.
O‘Franken!

I’m O’Franken, well, I came and I took without giving, and I won‘t go away.
O’Franken, well, you diss me and make me start shaking, and I’ll send you away.
O‘Franken!
And I need me!
