People's Champ - Arkells

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'

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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
