The Bait
They send you into danger telling you it has to be
And they hope that you'll never be late
It is the best thing that you ever could see
though it never ends good for the bait
you're pushed out in front to be seen by the foe
and just being there doesn't feel great
it's just one of these things that you will need to know
though it never ends good for the bait
Your handlers tell you that you're doing fine
you'll advance soon if you will just wait
just do what they say and keep toeing the line
though it never ends good for the bait
It often feels good to enjoy life in full
and to see what the world has this date
so get out and about and do things that are cool
though it never ends good for the bait
Then go back to doing the things that you do
and cast all of your fortunes to fate
you hope you'll survive all that you are put through
though it never ends good for the bait
