Yeah we sold it to the highest bidder
to the man with the big flow chart
with the deep coercive pockets
and the derelict heart.
Yeah we sold him the world and the universe
and there’s no more need for him to coerce
and there’s no time left for us to rehearse
because we sold it.
Someday son
All of this
It won’t be yours either.
Hope you can treat it better
Than all of us
Drunken chauffeurs,
Improvisors.
All of this.
