Job loss and the need to remain optimistic, despite dire circumstances.
Surely fine to have you here
All we ever asked and more
The connection, true exception
We knew it all along, but
Can you please take a seat?
This is not our idea of fun
Just let us say, above anything
And before we begin
It’s not you, it’s not you
Just our deadbeat Sam and his shattered Empire
It’s not you, it’s not you
A bitter consequence with no offense but numbers
Adding up to steal from our empty coffer
Clearly goes without saying
That this is just what it is
An affliction, complication
At least you have the truth
Can you please take a seat?
This is not our idea of fun
Just let us say, above anything
And before we begin
It’s not you, it’s not you
Just our deadbeat Sam and his shattered Empire
It’s not you, it’s not you
A bitter consequence with no offense but numbers
Adding up to steal from our empty coffer
We know of all better things
Which happen for all good people in time
It’s not for you to say except to say with your pride
that it’s not like you to be drowned
Can you please take a seat?
This is not our idea of fun
Just let us say, above anything
And before we begin
It’s not you, it’s not you
Just our deadbeat Sam and his shattered Empire
It’s not you, it’s not you
A bitter consequence with no offense but numbers
Adding up to steal from our empty coffer
