Another Busted Mediation

I've been carrying this case for so long without a nickel of pay
And it wouldn't take a whole lot of dough for it to all go away
But every time I try to settle all the lawyers on the other side sneer
It's a busted mediation and again I'm holding back my tears

I try my best to cut a deal try my hardest not to bid against myself
But when I make a new demand it always seems to end up right back on the shelf
Despite my logic and my reason they expect that I will freeze up pack bags and walk on out the door
It's just a busted mediation in a case I'm starting to abhor

If they would only stop and listen they might drop their opposition
Shake my hand and write a nice big check
But it's a busted mediation and again I'm feeling like a train wreck

Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa
Pay me something please

I'm begging you now
Please make me an offer
Why can't we settle this case right now

I've got a sneaking premonition that I'll be in this position again
I'd like to settle me a big one but when that might ever happen Lord knows when
At night I stare into the heaven and I gaze up at the stars as they sparkle in the sky
Another busted mediation and I'm wondering if it's still worth a try
Another busted mediation and it's time for me to say goodbye

A busted mediation
Another busted mediation
Saying goodbye
I'm saying goodbye
