vivat virtute - budget delegations lyrics

[verse 1]
manitoba, heavy construction
squats upon city hall’s chest
squeezing the air from the ways we might care
for each other in the days we have left
the mayor leads a prayer to ignore the poor
push the afflicted away
while senior advisors with sharpened incisors
distribute the spreadsheets that say

[chorus]
“roads and police and police and roads
roads and police and police and roads
roads and police and police and roads”
oh, that’s where most of our money goes

[verse 2]
counselor c posts a murderous meme
and a couple half+heartеd denials
while counselor b and counsеlor d
trade their tight white supremacist smiles
a free press reporter’s attention gets shorter
than the piece they will hide online
another pastiche of a press release
framing that everything’s gonna be fine
[chorus]
for roads and police and police and roads
roads and police and police and roads
roads and police and police and roads
oh, that’s where most of our money goes

[verse 3]
no room for research, no food or drink
no thinking something new
no time for anyone trying to show us
what love can do
but outside a circle surrounding a light
smudging the budget away
singing goodbyes, smoke hits the eyes
of what’s left of a winnipeg workday

[outro]
and we will be here
we will be here
we will be here next year
