Kleenex Girl Wonder Emerita
[Verse 1]
You left us rudderless and exposed
I know it feels like a punishment, you know how it goes
It was between a career in publishing and a post in regional government
So you told the line, "I suppose that's fine"
And it wasn't controversial at all at the time
Everything was purring along despite the oversights
But there was a square in your inner circle
And he air that stupid commercial every night
Nobody's perfect, sure, but it turned the tide
[Verse 2]
So if I'm angry at anyone
It's the doppelganger we let you become
But it's easy to judge from the safe remove
When everyone's afraid of you
And I'll own up to what happened
Because of what you me do
[Chorus 1]
I was a bomb, you were the clue, it was a ruse
I was a cog in the machine, you were the fuse
It wasn't right, it wasn't wrong, but it's a mistake
To even try to hurry along the whims of fate
[Verse 3]
A market exchange
'Cause there's no free will in free trade
And all fees billed need to be paid
So frown and bear it, cash is cheap
A rounding error on the balance sheet
And the gram of gold on the accountant's desk
Is more valuable than a pound of flesh
[Chorus 2]
So sometimes you get left holding a bag and listen, you're done
But I bet this won't be your last [?] shakeup
And the next time won't be as bad
You'll have a strategy, just man supply and demand
And derive an advantage and take your cut
