What the World Needs

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, Pokémon, 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!
