Description
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago in a frenzy of cynicism, but just recorded it last night... I'd welcome thoughts and suggestions here, as I'm not sure about the wisdom of combining timpani samples with an analog synth plug-in and my Drop-D acoustic guitar strumming, but rather than figure it out on my own I thought I'd submit it to the collective MJ wisdom.

Lyrics
THE SYSTEM FINDS A WAY TO STAY THE SAME
It started so well
The ceremony on the lawn
The party was swell
The band played all our favorite songs
Flashbulbs and shutter clicks
Paintings and candlesticks
But we got nothing that we really wanted
We got nothing that we really wanted
Now you and I sit across this table
Neither of us deserves the blame
Momentum dissolves into inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
When did we go wrong?
Or was it fated from the start?
Were you putting me on?
Was I only playing out a part?
Blank stares and repartee
That's all the news today
We got nothing that we really wanted
We got nothing that we really wanted
Now you and I sit here with these papers
Neither of us deserves the blame
Momentum regresses to inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
You and I sit here with our failure
We tried to start a brushfire but we brushed against the flame
Momentum burned down into inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
It started so well
The ceremony on the lawn
The party was swell
The band played all our favorite songs
Flashbulbs and shutter clicks
Paintings and candlesticks
But we got nothing that we really wanted
We got nothing that we really wanted
Now you and I sit across this table
Neither of us deserves the blame
Momentum dissolves into inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
When did we go wrong?
Or was it fated from the start?
Were you putting me on?
Was I only playing out a part?
Blank stares and repartee
That's all the news today
We got nothing that we really wanted
We got nothing that we really wanted
Now you and I sit here with these papers
Neither of us deserves the blame
Momentum regresses to inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
You and I sit here with our failure
We tried to start a brushfire but we brushed against the flame
Momentum burned down into inertia
The system finds a way to stay the same
