[verse: rap] Peter claims people rise to their level of incompetence Maes-Garreau says tech arrives right before your last conference Brandolini’s debunkments take ten times the expense And unintended consequences sneak past your defence Poe contends extremity and satire often correlate While Parkinson attests work will take as long as allocated Jenkins crashes tasks and refuses to delegate And Dilbert notes incompetent management is a final state. Gresham: Bad money will make good concede Linus: more eyes makes it easier to see what you need Occam says to pick the simplest path you can theorise While Godwin reckons everything ends up at Nazi guys If a headline asks a question then the answer is no If something can go wrong then wrong it will go At the worst possible moment and in the worst way Sod Betteridge and Murphy Finaygle-ing all their days Dunning Kruger has you dumbest when you're most self-defined Conway: your systems will mirror the team that's assigned Hofstadter's delay - a recursion in time Sayre says the more you care then the value declines Newton desired a big ass It's encoded in his maxim: The greater the mass Stronger the force of attraction" Apples to assholes, gravitational truth Got brain from a fruit and he published the proof. Or like Fleming attempting to keep his instruments washed If he’d been chilling - no penicillin we swimming in pox They're thinking out of the box When opportunity knocks And if you think the secret's safe You know they picking the lock. Now clad in chains breaking rocks You win a quiz you get shot Nowadays a brain is dangerous You paying to rot. Just see the TV we got Watch HBO for the plot Nothing to do with all the screwing It's politically hot I mean politically relevant Cos its like an allegory Is that the one where a moral can also be a story? Or is that a parable, I guess they're sorta comparable But if George Orwell was here with us he'd likely think me terrible Cos he told a tale of pigs that made me think of America But in Trump 101 my tracks get put in a memoryhole I Confess my transgressions except the ones on this album tho Cos I know he gonna hear em when he come to see the show! Rising up from the grave in an outfit that's unrepairable Boxing like a rebellion, got lovers the more the merrier syphillis undesired keep Mistresses extramarital One of the carrots is disbelief in the holy bible Not the manics album though, cos that one's fucking definitive 4 real, a different Richi, but hopefully as literate All these laws and conventions, are they social pretensions? Or something somehow more profound that warrants reverent mention? One thing is for certain though and that’s comparison’s a trap ‘Cause 90% of everything made is pure crap.
