It's lonely at the center of the universe When you're the judge, the jury and the chief executioner I know nobody's perfect, but I'm too close for comfort Number one, approaching zero I think I'm going under But I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you Yes, I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you You're a lazy dog and I'm a quick brown fox I'm not too cold, I'm not too hot Yeah, I'm just right for Goldilocks The most equal of animals I'm the fairest in the land And if I shit my pants on stage I'll say that it was planned I'm tired of being right all the time and I'm thinking, I'm thinking 'bout changing my mind But I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you Yes, I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you But I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you Yes, I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you I'm tired of being right all the time and I'm thinking, I'm thinking 'bout changing my mind But I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you Yes, I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you But I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you Yes, I'm too big to fail Even if I fall, I'm still taller than you

Rollback 02:59
A couple hours ago, just the other day I had a cup o' joe at the Hard Rock Café It was filled with heavy-metal memorabilia but there wasn't any roll at the cafeteria The Stones are in their rocking chairs Former spheres reduced to squares The hickory dickory has taken its toll Let's turn back the clock, it's time to roll Bring the roll back We gotta react Yeah, this is what we're fighting for Bring the rollback A counterattack, it's a war Rocky I Rocky II Rocky III Rocky IV I do the rock rock rock rock Rocky Horror Roll over, Chuck Berry, the rhythm, you blew it Now let's roll up our sleeves, yeah, we can do it We rocked the cradle, we rocked the nation We rocked the vote and we rocked the foundation We hit rock bottom, now rock is dead Turning in its grave, let's roll instead Bring the roll back We gotta react Yeah, this is what we're fighting for Bring the rollback A counterattack, it's a war Meanwhile Madonna's still looking for molly Sucking on a glowstick like it's a lolly Papa don't preach, I'm friends with Avicii He knows how to roll and he's gonna teach me Bring the roll back We gotta react Yeah, this is what we're fighting for Bring the rollback A counterattack, it's a war

about

‘Playing the Villain’ is the counterpoint to last year’s ‘Playing the Victim’: While it also features colorful melodies and a dark sense of humor, this time, the mood has shifted from self-pity and paranoia to malice and megalomania: ‘Villain’ is sung from the perspective of power-tripping narcissists, soul-sucking tech algorithms and alt-right culture warriors. Produced by Robbie Moore, the new EP offers reggae rhythms and three-part vocal harmonies on “Too Big to Fail”, whitewashed funk on “No One Left Behind”, and the irrepressibly horny riff of “Rollback”. Bad vibes only.
