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
