Bootstrap Caligula

Bootstrap Caligula He sees the sun and runs Pulled up by teeth on the bootstrap Till his time's nearly done Who made him emperor Who told him he was god Just another petty tyrant Who's not really any good Bootstrap Caligula He aims well but never fires Wonder where he thinks he's going Don't think he can go much higher Bootstrap Caligula Says the signs are all up above Wants to read the auguries Blood from a bleeding dove He wants immortality To have his face cast in stone But at the end of an empire His kind will be swept along Bootstrap Caligula He aims well but never fires Wonder where he thought he was going Don't think he could get much higher Bootstrap Caligula They carried him off today He could never get with the program Somebody had to pay Now he's another Messiah A martyr to yesterday Who once thought The world owed him something But every dog has it’s day
