Ep. 2 The Paperwork Hasn't Caught Up Yet

Verse 1 The forecast called for catastrophe The charts all pointed down The experts held a meeting To discuss the smoking ground Reality prepared a speech Probability took notes Logic built a spreadsheet We're dancing on the floats Pre-Chorus The warnings were impressive The cautionary tales The only tiny problem was None of them prevailed Chorus This isn't a game It's a victory march The band is already playing While they're studying the charts The paperwork hasn't caught up yet The outcome isn't known But somehow all the confetti Knows exactly where to go Hey! Uno Reverse Fast Forward Reshuffle and rewind past Go The odds said stop We said no Now we're watching possibility overload Verse 2 Science checked the numbers twice Logic checked them three Reality reviewed the file And still can't quite agree Karma said "I warned you" Probability looked pale Meanwhile we're booking venues For the afterparty sale Pre-Chorus Every rule was written For a different kind of day Nobody expected We would change the game by walking away Chorus This isn't a game It's a festival parade A business meeting A rocket launch A celebration in the rain The paperwork hasn't caught up yet Reality's delayed The future already happened The present's getting briefed Bridge Reality requested clarification Logic requested documentation Science requested replication Probability requested moderation Karma requested intervention Chaos requested a copy Common Sense stopped taking my calls ... Curiosity became project manager Final Chorus This isn't a game It's a victory lap The finish line got nervous And moved further down the map Uno Reverse Fast Forward Reshuffle and rewind past Go Skip the warnings Wave at the auditors And start the show Reality says "That's not how this works" We say "Neither are we" The paperwork hasn't caught up yet But the drinks are already free Outro Spoken Word At first they called it impossible Then they called it unlikely Then they called a meeting Then they called for evidence Then they called for help Then they called for the slides ... Common Sense never called back ... Profit.
