[male vocals] [spoken] (Welcome back to Villainy 101. We’ve talked about your mummy issues and your daddy issues, collecting henchmen and multiplying your minions. Today is your most important lesson of the year. How do you win over the masses?) [chorus] It’s anger. Give it up for anger. It’s the magic potion That serves us every time. Anger. They trust you when you share their outrage Win them with a swig of poison. Then they will help you climb. [verse] First, you gotta get them all defensive Convince them that their world is under siege Then rise in outraged majesty to save them You’ve got their trust and soon you’ll be their liege Don’t show your hand, but keep them on a simmer And throw some righteous zeal in the pot Persuade them their opponents are demonic Stoke the fire until it’s boiling hot [chorus] It’s anger. Give it up for anger. It’s the magic potion That serves us every time. Anger. They trust you when you share their outrage Win them with a swig of poison. Then they will help you climb. [verse] Bagosora inculcated hatred, Adolph gathered nations with his ire, And Ira, [female vocals] Oh I played both sides on Facebook And set more than the internet on fire. [spoken] (hahahaha) [male vocals] If you keep them hating on each other They can’t unite against your rise to power, Before they finally see that you’re the villain You’ve got them and you’re ruling from your tower [chorus] It’s Anger. Give it up for anger. It’s the magic potion That serves us every time. Anger. They trust you when you share their outrage Win them with a swig of poison. Then they will help you climb. [bridge] [bridge] The only threat is do-gooders who listen And seek to understand the other side. But never fear, just say the woke are hopeless. And bridge-building with bigots isn’t tried. Shame everyone who sits down at the table And finds out that they’re not so far apart. Praise purists and say dialogue is treason. Blind their minds and harden every heart. [chorus] With anger. Give it up for anger. It’s the magic potion That serves us every time. Anger. They trust you when you share their outrage Win them with a swig of poison. Then they will help you climb. Anger Give it up for anger It’s the magic potion That guarantees your climb
