[Verse 1] Zeus says I should help him Like I don’t have enough to do The king of the dead is miserable? Well that’s hardly something new If he wants someone to nod along And tell him every thought is right He can go complain to somebody else I’ve got enough fights of my own tonight [Pre-Chorus] Besides… Demeter would skin me alive If I got involved at all So tell me why everybody suddenly thinks I’m the one they’re supposed to call [Verse 2] My daughter brings me breakfast And asks me why I look so mad Then says she feels sorry for Uncle Hades Of all the sides she could have had “I thought you two were friends,” she says Like children always do As if the world was neat and simple And grown-ups told the truth [Pre-Chorus] Kids say things They don’t understand Then somehow hit exactly where they land [Bridge] Then I see the photograph Apollo smiling at the crowd But Persephone… No. Something about it isn’t right That isn’t shyness That isn’t nerves That isn’t someone having fun And suddenly all the pieces Start clicking into place at once [Chorus] Fine. Maybe I’ll ask a question Fine. Maybe I’ll take a look Fine. Maybe one small opportunity Wouldn’t hurt anybody Fine. Maybe I’m curious Fine. Maybe that’s all this is Fine. Let’s see what happens And leave it at that [Outro] An internship. One assignment. One very simple test. … Fine.
