Brain Trust
by Ross Durand

When you say jump - they say how high
You say you want the truth but they know that’s a lie
They always answer with yes - they know that’s a must
I think yer gonna go bust if this is your brain trust

All your eggs are in the basket they’ve all gone bad
All the tricks in the book are all that you had
They couldn’t change the truth
though you screamed and you cussed
I think yer gonna go bust if this is your brain trust

All that you needed was a little push
So you got the best pushers around
Well you trusted their brains to push you to the top
you said “Veni vidi Vici....
Now what?”

All that you needed was a little push [IQ IQ not you not you]
So you got the best pushers around [Bardus est ut bardus efficio]
Well you trusted their brains to push you to the top
you said “Veni vidi Vici....
Now what?”

You said jump now they’re all off the boat
Getting circled by the crocodiles you keep in your moat
But the castle is sinking your making a fuss
You went bust - and that was your brain trust

*I have two latin phrases in this song - the fist is at the end of the bridge "Veni vidi vici" a quote from Caeser meaning "I came, I saw, I conquered." Then in the backing vocals during the second time through the bridge [shown in brackets], "Bardus est ut Bardus efficio" - stupid is as stupid does.
