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.
