History's Greatest Assholes - MC Lars

I got a new drum set, I’m testing it out!

Look what I can do Mom

Yo, so people always remember the good guys but what up with the villains?

I’ve compiled a list of my favorite ones in rap form for you, here we go,

the greatest assholes in more or less chronological order

Here’s a list of famous assholes, let’s start with this dude

Named Cain, killed his brother and that was just rude

Brutus & Cassius were jerks — just a little

Nero was no hero, Rome burned, he played the fiddle

Caligula could give you a night to remember

Ghengis Khan might tie you up and lacerate your member

And when it came to ballers there was Vlad the Impaler

He’d run a stake up through you out your mouth to make you holler!

It’s no mystery, history remembers

Pirates pillaging and villagers dismembered

Vikings on a quest in their dragon shape boats

Running up on castles, jumping over moats

Christopher Columbus rolled up with a fungus

Pizarro and Cortes made the natives all say «um this…

One-sided exchange is not that nice!»

Like Henry the VIII beheading wife after wife

History’s greatest assholes, history’s greatest assholes

History’s greatest assholes, I’m calling you out, I’m calling you out!

History’s greatest assholes, history’s greatest assholes

History’s greatest assholes, I’m smoking you out, we’re smoking you out!

Benedict Arnold & Oliver Cromwell

Napoleon Bonaparte all wish it had gone well

With blown apart plans like Andrew Jackson

A Trail of Tears dividing families like fractions

Jack the Ripper had bad morals — like Lenin

Stalin killed 20 million and sent them all to heaven

Or hell, I don’t know but one thing is for certain

So many Russian people murdered behind an Iron Curtain

Gavrilo Princip shot Franz Ferdinand

Which lead to World War I and a famous Scottish Band

Which lead to World War II and freaking bodies everywhere

At the Holocaust museum there’s a wall of shoes and hair

On a rainy day in Amsterdam — tell me why

I saw Anne Frank House — and it made me cry

So whistle while you work, Hitler was jerk

Mussolini was a weenie, assholes got some nerve!

GAME SHOW HOST: Okay Lars, the turn goes to you

LARS: I’ll take compassionate athletes for $ 500 Alex

HOST: This football player is also known as a strong advocate of animal rights

LARS: Who is Michael Vick?

HOST: I’m sorry Lars, but that is incorrect

LARS: Damn!

Mengele was sick, with that scientific research

Lamps of human skin blood up on his t-shirt

Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Idi Amin

All up in the jungle acting real mean

Mark David Chapman shot a Beatle on the street

James Earl Ray killed Martin Luther King

Manson crashed parties and painted the town

(The Zodiac killer has yet to be found.)

It’s an inside job trading junk bonds and derivatives

Systematic risk, Wall Street greed is quite indicative

20 billion in the bank, but y’all kept on spending

Killing our economy with subprime lending

Vince Offer slapchopped a hooker in the face

John Mayer said very awkward things about his race

Charlie Sheen… Wait hold up, everyone’s rapping about

Charlie Sheen right now and it’s played out and boring

And whack so I’m going to skip this part

Biff Tannen well actually, his whole family

I’m speaking candidly like Colmes and Hannity

It’s insanity, they rapin' everybody

We tune in when it’s shocking and we tune when it’s bloody

Mel Gibson hittin' women thinkin' he can get away like OJ

Oh wait what would Dr. Laura say?

Okay, no way, yo I almost forgot

George W. Bush, you got the number one spot!
