CONUNDRUM

IT TOOK A REAL LONG TIME

TO GET SO FAR OUT

ON THE LIMB WE’RE ON

IN A BIG ENIGMA

AND THE BIGGER STIGMA 

IS WE’RE ALREADY GONE

BUT HOW MUCH DIFFERENT CAN IT GO

WHEN THE PATIENTS RUN THE SHOW

AT THE ASYLUM?

IT’S GETTING HARD TO UNDERSTAND

PENT UP MOODS ACROSS THE LAND

IN OUR CONUNDRUM

DO WE REALLY NEED THE NEWS

BREAKING EVERY MINUTE EVERY DAY?

WHEN IT’S DRIVING MOST FOLKS NUTS

BUT THAT’S WHAT THE PUNDITS DO TO EARN THEIR PAY

THEY’LL OFFER NO SOLUTION

AT BEST IT’S WORD POLLUTION

WHERE I COME FROM

AND WHEN THE CHOICES DON’T SOUND GOOD

WE ARE LEFT TO KNOCK ON WOOD

IN OUR CONUNDRUM

AROUND AND ROUND IT GOES

WHERE IT STOPS

NOBODY KNOWS

CAN WE PULL IT ALL TOGETHER

RIGHT BEFORE THE CURTAINS CLOSE?
