It's Funny, I Don't Feel Like A Winner

My discipline will make your teeth shake
Your restraint gets a laugh track
Accolades for staunch order
Reparations for heedful orders

It's funny, I don't feel like a winner
Weighted spoils for small steppers
Here's a trophy for atrophy
Chastened humility

We're the fretful and the overwrought
Our pre-planning is your afterthought
Limitless capacities
Close to the vest without cruelty

It's funny, I don't feel like a winner
Weighted spoils for small steppers
Here's a trophy for atrophy
Chastened humility

Hopefully we'll get trophies in the end
