| Who knew it would come to this?
|
| Old and boring adages
|
| The poster that you’ve been staring at on the bathroom wall
|
| As inspiration for each day of the week
|
| To get you started on the path to prosperity
|
| There’s nothing like a shot in the arm of fake optimism
|
| To distort your vision…
|
| When you’re on, no one can stand
|
| When you’re on, no one can stand
|
| I’d like to share my thoughts
|
| But then I’m just another interruption
|
| You’re just a holdout from another time
|
| The yes men around you keep your head high
|
| Out on a ledge again
|
| Self-referential and effacing…
|
| You might find, you might find
|
| That I could see, I could see
|
| Something that could never hang on a wall
|
| Worth a thousand words of useless praise
|
| A lifetime worth of accolades
|
| There’s enough hatred around
|
| To paint this whole town or burn it all down
|
| How long could your patience hold out
|
| From the bottom of the pile? |
