A Celebration--With a Vengeance?! - Sarah and the Safe Word

Lopsided is how I describe you

Your mother never wrote me a check

You move around the scene with impunity

You’ve got a couple years left at best

Well, we counted and the votes are in

You’re vicious and draconian

You’re always at the top of the list

Let’s have a celebration in your name

And damn you with the highest praise

A standing ovation

You’ve earned it

You took all our goodwill and you burned it

Kudos to those friends who stick it through

But I wouldn’t be your friend if you paid me to

To

Radio static

And monochromatic

We know you’re on the television box

Your money is working hard

All my friends say you’re a star

If it sounds like a metaphor, it’s not

Such a greedy little raven

Hoarding coins in your collection

And I’d love to see them scatter to the wind
