I'm Winning
Milo Manheim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It is my mission, we got a goal in mind
Save our tradition, that is the bottom line
We're always winning, look how the trophies shine
You're going down, bury you back underground
I'm the one who stands up for the people
I embrace diversity, treat everyone as equal
Zed is thoughtful (thanks)
He's a natural born leader (true)
And if you think about it, Bucky is neither (yo)
I will win this race
I'm a cheer rock star, mirrors love my face
Your ego made your head so big, you can't see
You got no shot to beat me (oh!)
I know you hear me, if you're with me stand up!
No way you'll win if you go against us
In pictures we're more glamorous
You want a battle with the best?
Good luck, let's go!

You need a leader who looks out for the crowd (then I'm winning!)
Someone that'll make you proud (then I'm winning!)
There through the ups-and-downs (I'm winning!)
Let me hear you scream it loud (I'm winning!)

I'm challengin' a way of thinkin'
Yo, I know I'll be a much better president (tell 'em your reasons!)
I'm a real human, there's no danger in that!
They're real monsters, man, what if they turn back?
We aren't monsters, man, we win the football games
We join the cheer squad, monsters wouldn't do those things
We got a good attitude (dude, you eat brains!)
If I did, you don't have one, so you'd be safe! (Ha)
Ooh, zigna-doo, ding, badda-doo
Bidda-ba, didda-bo, deeda-za, ba-doo, a-doo-wop
You're all weird and strange! We are here for change!
We need a president who will do whatever it takes
Look, we can go back and forth, but in the end it's facts
You're a monster and you can't debate that (ayy)
I know you hear me, if you're with me stand up!
No way you'll win if you go against us!
I know we'll be victorious!
You want a battle with the best?
Good luck, let's go!

You need a leader who looks out for the crowd! (Then I'm winning!)
Someone that'll make you proud! (Then I'm winning!)
There through the ups-and-downs! (I'm winning!)
Let me hear you scream it loud! (I'm winning!)

You wanna change Seabrook?
Yeah, for the better
Aha, I knew it
How's it better to have zombies at Prawn?
Our dance game's strong! (What?!)
(Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!)
Zombie-tongue in Seabrook, zabba-dabba-zinga
I think I'd make a fine president, too
Thanks for the compliment!
I think you'd like zombie as a second language, it's an easy A!
What's next, more zombie days on calendars?
Or holidays! (Yay!)
Woah, woah! And as an added perk
If I'm president, no more homework!

You need a leader that looks out for the crowd (then I'm winning!)
Someone that'll make you proud (then I'm winning!)
There through the ups-and-downs (I'm winning!)
Let me hear you scream it loud (I'm winning!)
You need a leader that looks out for the crowd (then I'm winning!)
Someone that'll make you proud (then I'm winning!)




There through the ups-and-downs (I'm winning!)
Let me hear you scream it loud (I'm winning!)

Eliza: Zed is thoughtful.
Zed: Thanks.
Eliza: He’s a natural born leader.
Zed: True.
Eliza: And if you think about it, BUCKY IS NEITHER!

Zed: We aren’t monsters, man. We win the football games. We joined the cheer squad, monsters wouldn’t do those things. We got a good attitude.
Bucky: Dude, you eat BRAINS!
Zed: If I did you don’t have one so you’d be safe.

These are both SICK BURNS!!! 🔥🔥🔥
