Part of our work here at Slate is trying to anticipate exactly what information everyone on the internet will be searching for tomorrow, and then providing it in an easy-to-locate fashion. In a perfect world, our articles answer common questions people will be googling for years to come, creating a long-trail of traffic in which Slate, its readers, and internet randos searching for general information all get what they’re looking for. In that spirit, we’re proud to present a clip from Tuesday night’s Daily Show, and also the lyrics to “Roar,” by Katy Perry. Whether you’re searching for trenchant political commentary from Daily Show host Trevor Noah, or just want to know what the words are to the lead single from Perry’s 2013 album Prism, this post has exactly what you’re googling for.
Above, you’ll find Noah’s insightful rundown of the current state of the investigation into Donald Trump’s ties with Russia. It’s funny! And below, you’ll find everything you need to sing along to “Roar,” by Katy Perry. There’s no connection between these two pieces of information, but whenever Slate can kill two birds with one stone, we try to. Over time, this accurséd Slate article will serve as a sort of Bermuda-triangle-like vortex, luring innocent googlers to the same landing page before hurling them into the depths of Slate’s infinite scroll of content, Katy Perry and Daily Show fans alike. Lasciate ogni speranza, like the man says. Now here are the lyrics to Katy Perry’s “Roar!”
VERSE:
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath,
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess.
So I sat quietly, agreed politely.
I guess that I forgot I had a choice,
I let you push me past the breaking point,
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything.
PRE-CHORUS:
You held me down, but I got up (Hey!),
Already brushing off the dust,
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground.
You held me down, but I got up,
Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough,
I see it all, I see it now,
CHORUS:
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter,
Dancing through the fire,
’Cause I am the champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar!
Louder, louder than a lion,
’Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar!
Oh-oh oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh-oh oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh,
Oh-oh oh, oh oh oh, oh-oh oh,
You’re gonna hear me roar!
VERSE:
Now I’m floating like a butterfly,
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes,
I went from zero, to my own hero.
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
