Corporate Troubadour

from Abandoned Bandwagon by Philip Bosley

/

lyrics

(It's a) Hell of a way to start the middle age
A gilded cage is still a cage
Dressed in malaise from head to toe
All dolled up and nowhere to go

Final page of this desperate despot's last attempts to obfuscate
Like a twenty-first century Watergate
Can't go back to where we were before
The old saloon is now a New Age hippy store

Like a corporate troubadour

Poorly hidden matchbook, a burnt bridge contributor
Sweeping proclamations from a half-baked amateur
Bad jokes and bad faith lies, pornographic philosopher
A next-gen, hell-bent high-paid conspiracy connoisseur

With your abhorrent settled scores
Just a corporate troubadour

Lonesome laments in the hours after midnight
Assurances are anything but airtight
Does anyone still have the will to fight?
The old left of center's leaning hard to the right

It seems fear of exposure is no longer a deterrent
Celebrate your newest holiday of disenfranchisement
Prevarication misconstrued as endorsement
Common courtesy needs some positive reinforcement

In the fading candlelight
Nothing's seems so bright anymore
We've got a lot to answer for
All these corporate troubadours
