lyrics

In a strained turn of events the talking heads rolled
Sold off their convictions. An estate of affairs
There's only one play left in a fresh look at this stalemate
Your cronies all scatter like roaches from a light

You'll drink this cup. It's the last thing you'll do
Fix one more time from daddy's silver spoon
You'll raise a glass and they might drink to you
But all you'll have left is daddy's silver spoon

You're a self-made man. Made up like a yarn
Like a fish tale gone bad, like a myth no one believes
But you're based on a truth that everybody sees
Like a wreck on the highway that they slow down to pity

And while you improvise they write down every word. It just gets more absurd

When the last straw falls
And the radios go silent
Will the banks shut down?
Will the lights go out?

If a nightmare ends
Without breaking your fall
Do you die for real?
Do you die for real?
