Man Of The Year Lyrics

I wake up every morning, Six o'clock, I`m right on time
I eat a low fat breakfast, I tie a perfect tie
I kiss the wife, I hug the kids, I pat the dogs and cats
I never lose anything, my car keys or my hat

'Cause I`m the man of the year
I`m the man of the year

I never cheat at finals, or miss a day at school
My urine tests are perfect, my prostate is a jewel

'Cause I`m the man of the year
I`m the man of the year
'Cause I`m the man of the year
I`m never, ever jealous
Never, ever cruel
I`m a graduate of Harvard
Where I never broke the rules

The queen made me a knight
The pope made me a saint
The president plays golf with me
I make Madonna faint

So why am I so lonely
Depressed and in despair
If I pull this trigger in my mouth will anybody care

It was the greatest funeral, I laid in perfect state
And later I will meet the lord, I bet he just can`t wait

To meet the man of the year
I`m the man of the year
Stand in line to meet the man
I`m the man, I`m the man, I`m the man

Alice asked Mark what he did to be named, Man of the Year, and Mark said he had no idea. Alice and Mark shared a laugh about the whole, Man of the Year, thing and Alice wrote this song using artistic license, to make The Man of The Year, a total conformist that never bucked the system, the complete opposite of who Mark really was.

Alice met a fan of his in 2010, that was given the distinction of "The Man of the Year," by the N.R C.C. Mark Ciccone was a Presidentialadvisor for G.W.Bush at the time.

Alice gave Mark a 5 Iron golf club, to give to President Bush. After the song came out, Alice told Mark and his wife, Phyllis, that that meeting in 2010n inspired the song. Alice, used artistic liv and made the "Man of the Year," A total conformist, that always followed the rules, accomplice opposite of Mark. The line in the song, " the President plays golf with me, Imade Maddona faint, " was Alice\'s way of including Mark in this song. The golf referencen is because if the advisor relationship Mark had with the President and the golf club he gave him from Alice. The mention of Maddona, is because her last name is Ciccone, the sane as Mark. Mark and Alice started a friendship, that continues today.
