The Spectacle

I'm told I've been here before
But I recognise nothing
It's a battle of wits
In a race to the bottom

Keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

We all have our limits
Give me the room and I'll dance 'til I spin it
Keep pushing, keep pushing, but

Keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

If you took offence, then I'm sorry
If you took offence
Then it is no longer my responsibility to

Keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

All for the love of God
And cash-in-hand payments
An inane one line question for engagement, can you

Keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

And eventually, it will become so natural
You may even believe it yourself
You'll say the end justifies the means
You'll say all will be forgiven
All will be forgotten if you

Keep it light and repeat it often enough
They carve it in stone, they take it as read
And the public gets what the public expects to get
Because God loves a winner

Oh, keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

We've been so preoccupied with what one man
Who lived two thousand years ago would say or do
In any given situation
Sometimes we forget to
Keep it light and repeat it often

And sometimes we forget to
Insert ourselves into every conversation
Regardless of whether we have anything of note to say

Keep it light and repeat it often
Keep it light and repeat it often

Well, you simply must
You simply must be seen and heard

I keep it light and repeat it often
I keep it light and repeat it often

And eventually, it will become so natural
You may even believe it yourself
You'll say the end justifies the means
You'll say all will be forgiven
All will be forgotten if you

Keep it light and repeat it often enough
They carve it in stone, they take it as read
And the public gets what the public expects to get
Because God loves a winner

Hats off for the spectacle
A cautionary tale
It was an honest mistake
It was an honest mistake
But where there's a will
There's a way out of this
Where promises are cheap
A dead cat strategy for the ages
You saw it coming
And you called it for what it is

And yet here we are discussing probable cause of death
And whose turn it is to clear up this mess
While your hero rides off into the sunset once again
A mandate to finish the job
And you had better believe
I will keep it light and repeat it often
And you had better believe I will get the job done

And eventually, it will become so natural
You may even believe it yourself
You'll say the end justifies the means
You'll say all will be forgiven
All will be forgotten if you

Keep it light and repeat it often enough
They carve it in stone, they take it as read
And the public gets what the public expects to get
Because God loves a winner
