(Let's get it while it's hot) How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment How to defer to men in solvable predicaments How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you How to have that not work and have them run away from you How to keep people at arms-length and never get too close How to mistrust the ones you supposedly love the most How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps The course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in eight easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist How to play all-pious when you're really a hypocrite How to hate God when you're a prayer and a spiritualist How to sabotage your fantasies by fear of success I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps The course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in eight easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best I've been doing research for years I've been practicing my ass off I've been training my whole life for this moment, I swear to you Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps The course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in eight easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself How to numb à la 'holic to avoid going within How to stay stuck in you by blaming them for everything I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps The course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in eight easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps The course of a lifetime, you'll never forget I'll show you how to in eight easy steps I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best
