It all depends on who
upends the apple cart.

Start as you mean to go on
and if it's wrong
start again,
no pain and all that clap trap
get the gist?
or be like me and just get ******
waste it away
'for a year and a day'
and sing to the moon.

but off your face
never
got me out of that place
it
was grit and determination.

dependency
is two floors down
from
acceptable society
and the elevator is
*******,

there are plenty more floors
with
flowers for the bankers
and clients for the ******
and Santa is up on floor ten.

This is reliable gen'
brought to you by the men
who also brought
the **** that you bought
on the news

you can't refuse to log in
to the spin
you're recorded and
being relayed,
being played like some marlin
stuck on a hook
and
it all depends upon
which end you're at.
