no redeeming qualities but far too overqualified
providing nothing more than the own duality of design
weight is measured by status and empty promises
reputation's riding on the edge of the rail

fall mindlessly in line
notice short comings
anticipate
his selfish design

the audience twisted squeamishly in their metal seats
the volunteers fell to the floor, collapsed and then cried
he swindled everyone and fed their anticipation
said he'd send a postcard of the view of the island, the sea and beyond

i can't understand
our mission was his
i can't explain

and the secretary got off her knees when the news came on the radio
and realized what she was doing and called her husband on the phone
but did he get you going? that doesn't explain, when can i see again
it didn't mean a thing and it's not clean and things have changed that's how it goes

sometimes that's how it goes
