Axioms of Mediocrity

He came from the South With a head full of schemes A hustler's ambition And immigrant dreams A silver spoon? Oh, a little assist But his mind was sharp You couldn't resist He built up the towers With sweat on his brow Stacking the decks; He knew the know-how Parents' wealth opened The door to the game But his brain lit the fire And he staked his claim Oh, The Fantastic Mr. X Like Narcissus of old Fell in love with his image All shiny and bold Killed a bird, called it \"X\" And it soared in his hand He buys the applause; It's the fuel for his brand He bought out the wheels Best tech on the street Painted them dreams of a future elite Pretending the vision was born in his head While the real founders quietly bled Throwing his fortune at rockets and Mars A gambler at heart Reaching for stars Success bred success; The world sang his tune A techno-sorcerer under the moon Oh, The Fantastic Mr. X Like Narcissus of old Fell in love with his image All shiny and bold Killed a bird, called it \"X\" And it soared in his hand He buys the applause; It's the fuel for his brand With billions to burn And delusion's embrace He thought himself master of every space Bought the world's loudest platform Renamed it with pride To watch the world turn On his slippery slide Throwing his money At kingdoms and kings He puppeteered power w Ith invisible strings But what's the endgame For this fragile soul? When the fire you stoke Starts to swallow you whole Oh, The Fantastic Mr. X Like Narcissus of old Fell in love with his image All shiny and bold Killed a bird, called it \"X\" And it soared in his hand He buys the applause; It's the fuel for his brand So, Fantastic Mr. X What's next in line? A kingdom of ashes Or a shrine to your sign? Will the stars still shine When your empire's spent? Or will history laugh At the monument you meant?
