wonderlick – the ceo considers his holdings lyrics

the ceo considers his holdings lyrics
[verse 1]
the top of a building far downtown
dum+da+da+da+da+da
in a world where you and i could not exist
sits a man at a desk in fine attire
dum+da+da+da+da+da
slowly checking items off a list

though he looks out the window now and then
dum+da+da+da+da+da
no sound rises from the street below
while he studies what he owns
dum+da+da+da+da+da
he’s receiving quite expert f+ll+tio

[chorus]
some rise by sin
and some by virtue fall
we’re not getting anywhere at all
send our regards
to those who work so hard
we lack discipline but we have a ball

[verse 2]
on a sidewalk in that city
on the day after the show
jenny found that special feeling didn’t persist
as she stepped over the trash that
only ever seemed to grow
and graffiti by half+hearted anarchists
[chorus]
some rise by sin
and some by virtue fall
we’re not getting anywhere at all
send our regards
to those who work so hard
we lack discipline but we have a ball

[spoken]
41 per cent
of the company he founded
that pioneered removing toxic waste
two hockey teams
and the arenas the play in
one satellite that’s orbiting in sp+ce
950 pages listing varied stocks and bonds
5 houses, 7 buildings and two farms
he forgot about the planes
and that helicopter
there’s no paper trail for the small arms

lots of broken glass
the standard fast food wrappers
a used rubber and a used tampon
side by side
half a dead pigeon
one red, lace+less tennis shoe
a kneeling man who was oddly dignified
a pile of cr+p far too big
to have come from any dog
a mattress and a piece of some machine
a wet and battered book
titled your brain is god
and a broken silver plastic submarine
[chorus]
some rise by sin
and some by virtue fall
we’re not getting anywhere at all
send our regards
to those who work so hard
we lack discipline but we have a ball
