lyrics

An entrepreneur had a product in mind
Assessed the market trends, stock options, and drew his budget lines
Then he regulated supply as to render demand
But when the annual reports came back in it didn't go quite as planned

A revolting people broke from the bureaucracy
They said "we've no need for your sanctions, all we need is to learn to live freely"
But in time their very own rose to dictate the upper hand
And when that well ran dry it didn't go quite as planned

It doesn't always have to make sense
The world outside owes no explanation or recompense

Something across the years I could never understand
How somethings can be mapped out in stone and still not go quite as planned

Two young lovers
Shared their wildest wows
They knew they'd be together forever and exchanged their final vows
But you can love the beach without loving every grain of sand
And when that tidal wave came crashing in it didn't go quite as planned
