What the world needs is people like me
To keep it all spinnin' around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker
Hmm, I get up
I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down
Okay, it's clear, I'm the top of this class
These folks here, well, they pump the gas
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 smokes ganja, ooh, it's so groovy
To stay at home and watch a Transformer movie
She serves me Coke and a medium fries
And no, thanks, I don't want it supersized
'Cause that's low-class, diabetes in a cup
Keep your head down, and things will look up
What the world needs is people like me
To keep it all spinnin' around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker
Hmm, I get up (she gets up)
I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down
Seriously?
This one here, he's rarin' to fail
He'll rob a 7-11 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!
Oh, PokΓ©mon, Spider-Man?
This kid doesn't have an attention span
And what's he gonna do, solve a Rubik's cube?
How long's he got if we feed him through a tube?
What the world needs is people like me
To keep it all spinnin' around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker
Hmm, I get up (she gets up)
I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down
And as we move through life to find our place in the crowd
Some don't make the cut, that's crystal clear-o (oh yes, oh yes)
Oh, isn't someone keeping score? I gotta say this out loud
I mean, do we really need another zero?
Or zero? Or zero?
Or zero? Or zero?
Add 'em all up, and you'll still get zero
What you really need is a fother muckin' hero
And oh, oh
He'll never learn to read
And oh, oh
He's never gonna breed
And oh, oh
Going to jail guaranteed
And she's a freaky monster
Yes, there's a problem, I'm the solution
Darwin had a theory called, "Evolution"
He put it into words, but it's plain to see
We need a little less of them, a little more of me
What the world needs is people like me (we can't all be heroes, no)
To keep it all spinnin' around (most of us, zero-ohs)
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker (some fly high)
She gets up (she gets up)
She gets up
What the world needs is people like me (we can't all be heroes, no)
To keep it all spinnin' around (most of us, zero-ohs)
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker (some fly high)
She gets up (she gets up)
She gets up
And no one's gonna keep me down (some stay down)
Down!
To keep it all spinnin' around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline-maker
Hmm, I get up
I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down
Okay, it's clear, I'm the top of this class
