ALL ACCORDING TO THE MASTER PLAN

 

I

The hinges of the present creak

Your past is black, your future’s bleak

Those seamless lies, that hollow pledge

Now push you closer to the edge

Adjustment‘s needed to survive

Plus extra cash to feel alive                

And all you rich, count me your biggest fan

Of course – according to the Master Plan

 

II

Your nursery, where curses rhymed,

The cradle rocked, but not in time

If life for once could be rehearsed

You would go back from hearse to birth

Reborn to face reality,

Big brother shows, and charity

From the melting pot into the frying pan

It’s all according to the Master Plan

 

B I

The future has

As rule of thumb

Discouraging

Curriculum

In their mind’s eye

I know the masterminds

Can see a master plan made for this world of blind

 

III

See, from the start our origin

Has been promoted based on sin

A shame for some while some don’t mind,

since there are sins of different kinds

The tabloids need to circulate

This need for sin is hard to sate            

Want indignation? Then I’m your man

It’s all according to the Master Plan               

 

 

XIV

Life’s a journey hard to make

And in the end it can’t be faked

We all shall win, once we are dead,

A beauty prize as flowerbed

I’m sure I haven’t sold my soul

And yet I doubt I’m in control

The undertaker whispers “Sure is grand,

We all play parts in this fantastic Plan”
