House of Cards
by glennny
You have got your image controlled
You will stay on brand
Contemplate optimum optics
Is all you understand
The fundamentals have been lacking
You’re giving me a scare
Overabundance of your funding
You’re making vaporware
A gust of wind starts to blow
The cracks in the foundation start to show
I see through your "transparency"
It’s not enough to impress me
Shattered glass, broken shards
They’re not as sharp as your house of cards
I have got my work cut out for me
You have a silver tongue
When you spin a yarn unquestioned
Your claims are too far-flung
I really wanted to believe you
But it just isn’t real
You cannot ignore math and physics
And sell me what you feel
A gust of wind starts to blow
The 3 of clubs falls below
I see through your "transparency"
It’s not enough to impress me
Shattered glass, broken shards
They’re not as sharp as your house of cards
The king of love commits suicide
While jokers were just standing by
A free-for-all all with no-holds-barred
The cold collapse of your house of cards
The building blocks are still intact
They never left, they’re coming back
Lost in the shuffle, the deck is marked
Try to spot the next house of cards
I saw through your "transparency"
And now I see a bargain plea
A bill of goods and broken hearts
Try to divest from your house of cards
A Jack an Ace and a jackass
Have no place that ever lasts
Call the papers, call in the guards
We now expose your house of cards
