A Cautionary Tale
The times of turpitude
The trips
The thrill
The prowling and the preying
And the privilege of not paying the bill
The breach
The overstep
The case
The war
The naming and exposing
And the voices then disclosing
There's more
So there was the shock and the shame
Set in motion was the flock and the flame
Now the notion was to block and to blame
Every sin is on the table now
The kings
The geniuses
The rich
The strange
All falling off their horses
Subject to the forces of change
And then there was the rage
The return
From the man who had no bridge left to burn
No intention to reflect
Or to learn
Yet demanding all our sympathies
Who knows who's right or wrong
Whose word is true
How you see him and depict him
As a demon or a victim
Depends on if it could have been you
The trips
The thrill
The prowling and the preying
And the privilege of not paying the bill
The breach
The overstep
The case
The war
The naming and exposing
And the voices then disclosing
There's more
So there was the shock and the shame
Set in motion was the flock and the flame
Now the notion was to block and to blame
Every sin is on the table now
The kings
The geniuses
The rich
The strange
All falling off their horses
Subject to the forces of change
And then there was the rage
The return
From the man who had no bridge left to burn
No intention to reflect
Or to learn
Yet demanding all our sympathies
Who knows who's right or wrong
Whose word is true
How you see him and depict him
As a demon or a victim
Depends on if it could have been you
