Curve Ball from Usual Alias by Lee Desty

CURVEBALL
  
Curveball came out of the long grass , selling wheels of fear 
For a Merc and a Green Card , he gave what they wanted to hear.
Recycled inspectors’ words , for his “cut and paste” fantasy
Spooks so wanted to please the boss , fools gold labelled WMD

Chorus:
It’s alright , the Curve Ball’s back in play 
It’s ok , so what if a wall got in his way  ?
Here in this kingdom , of uncertain beliefs
Burn notice required , sing hail to the chief
(with ruffles & flourishes) 

Trailer trash on power point , 4 star General’s UN show
No seeds of doubt , a trusted source who was in the know.
Just like picking cherries , spit the stones out on the floor
Play a card called absolution , go straight to “shock and awe”

Chorus
It’s alright , the Curve Ball’s back in play 
It’s ok , so what if a wall got in his way  ?
Here in this kingdom , of uncertain beliefs
Burn notice required , sing hail to the chief
With ruffles & flourishes ,

Patter cake ,yellow cake , fake me a war
Sell the big lie and take it on tour
The Halliburton Chorus got refills on the Hill,
When a Baghdad taxi driver blew his horn at will.
Chorus:
It’s alright , the Curve Ball’s back in play 
It’s ok , so what if a wall got in his way ?
Here in this kingdom , of uncertain beliefs
Burn notice required , sing hail to the chief
(with ruffles and flourishes )
