Verse 1 (Last Honest Man - Initial G)
Stop drop and roll
but I bet you still can’t put the fire out in ya soul
that burning desire
that obese greed
that feeds little seeds
that breeds the hunger
for the little sweet beads
that the candyman feeds
when they start doing bad deeds
fill their mad needs
for the sad treats
the craving for riches
scratching their itches
till their petty crimes
turn into encumbering twitches
while the programming glitches
till the innocence switches
and they become society’s leeches
that beseech us
to let them profess
whatever the candyman preaches
whatever the mirror teaches to the candyman’s creatures
Verse 2 (Candyman - Mike Dynamo)
We want You!
To really feel that you have a place here
Forget anything you’ve heard on those fake news programs
about the EVILS of what we do.
Those people just hate success!
You’re family now
Don’t you want to be part of a rich and powerful family
Of course you do
It’s not like you can take care of yourself.
Verse 3 (Last Honest Man - Initial G)
Focus
narrow down on the locus
you’ve already been taken
in by the hocus pocus
the candyman’s the fire starter
you’re fire stokers
you’re like demons
some fallen angels just invoke us
the wolves of wall street
beelzebub’s brokers
here to pollute the environment
mute the siren
of the warning of the fatal attraction
that the planet earth is mired in
it's all wired in
to our most basic thinking
where your money gonna float to
when the whole world is sinking
media circus but not from brothers like ringling
the aftermath of the apocalypse still lingering
Verse 4 (Candyman - Mike Dynamo)
What you have is an opportunity to be best!
To put
difficult decisions
in the hands of your betters
I mean
those better equipped
to make good choices for you
We’re the ones that went to the best schools
Crafted all the best rules
Rules that help you help us
best our enemies
and build the best society for us to rule over
I mean live in
We know all the best people.
We are the best people.
Verse 5 (Last Honest Man - Initial G v Candyman - Mike Dynamo)
Candyman:
You keep pretending that you’re not happy with your life
and nobody likes a liar
It’s trickle-down economics
we trickle down more work for you to do to give you purpose
Last Honest Man:
But that's the con
that lets you remain the don
while I become the pawn
Why do you get the stream
while I get the trickle
where you enslave my offspring to be indebted to your fucking spawn

Candyman:
That’s because family matters
Continuity
Legacy
You’d give the world to your kids if you owned it.
We do
Including your environment
That’s why we drill where we like but not where we are
Last Honest Man:
Some of us might act like we’re the heir apparent
but the government’s never been our fucking parent
Opioid addiction got lost eyes staring
while legal alcoholics straight judging them glarin

Epilogue (Candyman - Mike Dynamo)
And maybe
If you work hard enough for us
buy our products
and do everything we tell you
We’ll let you think you’re as good as we are
And that ain’t nothing
Of course we’ll have our best laughs about you behind your back.
We the best
But we invite you to keep trying.
You eat the candy from the candyman
We’ll eat the filet mignon, the lobster tails, and the gold leaf
Just so our shit can shine like justice
Something else we own, by the way.
I advocate for the greatness of our collective
I market to you a magical world
Infecting your brain with the notion of meritocracy
We let you think you matter to us because you do
You really do
If you didn’t do all this labor
we’d have to
though we’d take the whip to your ass long before that’d happen.
This is economics
This is your education and acceptance to middle management
This is you doing your best to keep the rabble in line
Until we decide
to let you die
