lyrics

It was wrong, I admit it.
I won't lie and pretend,
We were drunk when we did it,
Or that we won't try it again.

In the city,
There's a bridge we're not allowed to walk across.
So I've convened a committee,
To help us finally shed the albatross.

Slow down! Take a minute!
Pump the brakes! Don't make a fuss!
Think how I feel!
Walk a mile in my bus!

"It was a novel solution"
We thought, inside of the box.
We were wrapped in a riddle,
Trapped in a pitiful paradox.

Ask us if we've learned our lesson:
If we had a redo, would we do the same?
Or return to the detour, adjourn in defeat,
Forced to turn and retreat whence we came.

Would we show remorse,
Climbing down from our Trojan horse?
Would we stay the course?

We'll burn that bridge when we get there.
I'm not afraid of the heat.
They had us all in a sweat there,
But there isn't a threat there.

We'll succeed, it's guaranteed.
100%
Like a game of roulette where,
Even when you bust,
You can just leave your bet there.

Win or lose, one million views.
Cause in the event,
That we're faced with a "nyet" there,
We can slay the troll,
Bring the whole internet there.

We'll commute the cynic route,
Until the day when,
They agree to forget their,
Pointless policy,
And that we ever met there.

We'll commute the cynic route
Again and again...
