Ride the Cyclone Original Off-Broadway Cast - What The World Needs

[OCEAN]
Oh no

What the world needs
is people like me
To keep it all spinning around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker
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, oh it's so groovy
To stay at home and watch a transformers movie
She serves me a 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 spinning around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker
I get up
I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down

Seriously?
This one here, he's raring to fail
He'll rob a 7-Eleven 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
And do we really need another organ donor?
(spoken) Maybe that was a little harsh, love you!

Oh, Pokemon, Spiderman
This kid doesn't have an attention span
And what's he gonna do, solve a Rubik's Cube?
(whispered) How long's he got if we feed him through a tube?

What the world needs is people like me
To keep it all spinning around
I'm the mover, I'm the shaker, I'm the headline maker
I get 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

[CHORUS]
Some don't make the cut that's crystal clear enough

[OCEAN]
Oh yes, oh yes
Well isn't someone keeping score, I've gotta say it out loud
I mean do we 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 Futhermucking Hero

He'll never learn to read
He's never gonna breed
Going to jail, guaranteed
And she's a freaky monster

[CHORUS]
Yes there's a problem

[OCEAN]
I'm the solution
Darwin had a theory called

[CHORUS]
Evolution

[OCEAN]
He put it into words but it's plain to see
We need a little less of them a little more of me

Me, little more of me (riffing)

I get up, I get up
And no one's gonna keep me down

[CHORUS]
Some stay down

[OCEAN]
Down!
