Many distractions,
Few worthy of attention.
Ooh! Look! A squirrel!

Men once told the lies.
Now machines do it for them.
The wrong bar is raised.

Rich minority
Makes rules for majority,
As it was designed.

Blindness for the past.
Ignorance of the present.
Fear of the future.

The mad have escaped.
The asylum's not enough.
There are bigger plans.

The band is up here
To help the venue sell beer
If we do well
They'll hire us back.
So it would be swell
If you'd order some Jack.
The more you drink
The better we sound
So step to the bar
And order a round
You can hoot & holler
And have a good time
If you're tipping the bar staff
Then everything's fine
Get up and dance
Work up your thirst
We might not be best
But we sure ain't the worst
So buy another drink
Don't be a cheap #!$*
Don't stop to think
Tip your server a buck
I'll call it a win
And you'll surely feel fine
If you're drinking "Cold Gin"
Or sippin' on wine
Grab another drink
And have a good time
By the end of the night
You'll be doing just fine
We'll keep the songs going until it's last call
To increase the sales of alcohol
To help the venue sell beer
If we do well
They'll hire us back.

If you'd order some Jack.

Carve out time
Shape it to your whim
Careful not to cut yourself
Keep your tools sharp
Chip away chip away
Shave off seconds
Sand smooth days
Passing moments fall
Shavings on the floor
Grind them up with glue
Fill the knotholes and mistakes
They'll ask how you got it so perfect
You'll smile and say "practice"
But you'll still see each flaw
filled in with the dust
of imperfections and failures
Shape it to your whim
Careful not to cut yourself
Keep your tools sharp
Chip away chip away
Shave off seconds
Sand smooth days
Passing moments fall
Shavings on the floor
Grind them up with glue
Fill the knotholes and mistakes
They'll ask how you got it so perfect
You'll smile and say "practice"
But you'll still see each flaw
filled in with the dust
of imperfections and failures
Centuries-old grifts.
They persist for a reason.
They just keep working.
They persist for a reason.
They just keep working.
