The budget though
I have to say
Does sound a bit so
Jam today
Jam for some, for
Others sorrow
Nothing left for
Jam tomorrow

composure is key
look like
everything’s
under control
be relaxed
exude
confidence
things will
get done
on time
well and
on budget
see things
in perspective
see
the
big picture
keep cool
at all times
it’s
all
about
optics

Nobody tells you
Life is a joke
Sitting in somber pews
Re(hearsing) gregorian chants
Then back to in-family dance
One day off to school
We learn how the world is ruled
Dont step out of line
Get it on budget, in time
Why so serious face?
Has science figured it out?
Chromosomes in the dark
Aliens and DNA
The myths we tell ourselves
Right from the start
Always forgetting
Life is a joke
We are playing on ourselves
