Pyrrhic Victory

about

No prizes for guessing who this is about. But there are other people in politics who also think they're entitled to be in charge of the rest of us, despite a devastating and crippling lack of ability, talent, or even self-awareness. How do we fix that?

lyrics

His greatest triumph is what led to his defeat
The world has watched his fall
Humiliation every hour, on repeat
The TV news reveals it all

The bitter truth unfolds and now he's close to tears
The fantasy he sold has long since disappeared
The stories that he told were full of lies and fears
But now he's not so bold; he knows his downfall's near

His stable genius is increasingly at sea
But he'll claim he chose to sink
Outmanoeuvred by a thing he cannot see
He cannot tell it what to think

He let it all get out of hand
Says he's in charge, but can't command

Now they all know that he's not up to the task
He missed his chance to succeed
When he revealed what there is behind the mask
'cause all there is, is greed

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
