Wheel Of Fortune

(专辑： Consolation - 2018)

A trick of heredity, a zipcode, a last name
A cell deforming, a businessman's handshake
His waning ardor needs blood to metastasize
I decide who lives and who dies!

Water as commodity, all is comedy
Acts of God, acts of the purse-milking apostles
Pulling yourself up by your boot straps is impossible
I decide who lives and who dies!

The flea, the fetid pool, the sink hole
The asshole, who thinks he thinks, he thinks he knows all answers
Wrath for sale and it is always Christmas
I decide who lives and who dies!

Emergency manager, an angry ex-husband
Late with his payments and needs to cut costs
Inept gov hacks pump poison through pipes, a rising tide
I decide who lives and who dies!

Wheel of Fortune, wealth of nations
Chance of winning with proof of purchase
Chances are better with documentation
Pull your ticket, stand in line
Don't trust those that line up behind you
While you're waiting, stare a hole in
The back that's in front of you
Your time is coming, that is our promise
If you're not around, your children will do
Roll me over, tender cousin
Open up my face to see the gears
The inner workings, forever turning

Hands upon the wheel, busy hands in action, hands in motion
Hands upon lovers, hands pulling levers
Hands upon rigging, hands around throats
Hands around their own throats, hands around their own throats

A pharmaceutical mistake, a bluebird through a windowpane
A useful idiot trying to suckle his pride
Something growing deep on the inside
I decide who lives and who dies!

A man with a gun and a deluded sense of purpose
A good guy with a gun who missed
A police state desperate to reach quota
The insurance company's ad budget went over
I decide who lives and who dies!

See it turning, turning, turning
If you ever smile on me, please let it be now
I wonder if you'll fool me this time
