Thin Ice

welcome to the corporation
future and futility
three-ring empire
circus of absurdity

now open to interpretation
coding life or reality
steel shattered boughs break
chaos in stability

(CHORUS)
tread thin ice
breathe thin air
speaking words we'll never hear
hope is gone leaving here
another day another year
(REPEAT)

digress to speculation
profiteering misery
stock optioned in water
high-priced iniquities
static market penetration
manic wordplay industry
straight-faced spin crier
pulling wool over the sheep

(CHORUS)
