lyrics

I'll meet my quota today,
For once in my life I'll really earn my pay.
I'll tell Samantha that she
Can finally be proud, as proud as she can be.

I got caught up in the long con years ago,
Thinking that I could outrun
All the boxes and the falling dominoes
That determined what I've done.

I'll eat as much as I want:
A marshmallow-covered, chocolate-filled croissant.
I'll start a series of talks -
A step-by-step course on building building blocks.
I'll be part of something real
And I'll feel how it feels
To have purpose like the spokes on a wheel.

I got caught up in the long con years ago
And I'm here to tell you all
We've been living in the constant rodeo
And each clown has got to fall.
