I waited for you To make the first move You were in charge And did what you do
Looking in my glass house You saw what you see I was vulnerable So you took advantage of me
In the first petition we faux wed And you created my future course But, I’ve finally had enough of your scam Now it’s time for us to faux divorce
You were the one with the masterful plan And what I really needed didn’t matter All you wanted was to make your play So you’d get whatever you were after
Simultaneously, You put me in the driver’s seat And handed over the keys While you got in on the passenger's side And feigned giving the control to me
Being unlicensed and trusting you I then took hold of the wheel Not knowing you were just using me To get my signature on your lucrative deal
The one where I became an indentured servant So others could decide my fate But, eventually I exposed your treachery And since then I’ve gotten nothing but hate
After once upon a time Smiling sweetly in my face So handsome, and oh so grand YOU, the TOP GUN The BIG MAN with a plan Didn’t want to hang your head in disgrace
Lately You’ve been getting a wee bit upset And still doing whatever it is you still do While I’ve made plans to quicken your step By encouraging you to make your next move
Because you need votes and connections From one to the other end of the State Who will enjoy sitting down at your table Eating your food from off of your plate And Together you’ll make merry and laugh At the joke you made, oh yeah, that’s “me” Determined to hang on until the end And to never allow me to go free
As you bask in your hay days And all the money you made You’re happy with the respect you achieved At my expense and others like me too While we paid your debts And still want answers from you
But, you underestimate us And my willingness to strive When you left me with nothing to lose After you lied And cheapened my pride
And now you’re getting angrier The more doggedly I share Me, the little mouse Fat cats no longer scare
BUT,
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I CARE?
Why don’t you put your… oops, OUR money Where your mouth is Let’s finally meet together in the courtroom I’m sure your posse will be there And the new Judge can decide Preponderance Evidentiary documents And sworn testimony too
Then I’ll show my hand Politely address you as “Sir” And mop the floor up with you!!!
Oh, that’s right, I almost forgot You prefer that we mediate without proof In a private room where no one can see So all your bad faith acts will stay buried in history
But I’m not giving you the broom that you need So you can sweep me And what you’ve done to everyone Quietly Under the rug
Especially since your new plan Is to avoid a public scandal In your campaign to be elected his Honor
