Led Tritely

By Indi Riverflow | June 8, 2013

Look for the bread crumb trail to follow
There’s a rule of thumb for every sorrow
Don’t reinvent the proverbial wheel
For what a dabbler dutifully borrows
The master shamelessly steals

Years come and go in a blink
Toss another stone in the soup
And see if it sinks

{Chorus}
Bites of sound be here when we’re gone
Dependable as tomorrow’s dawn
Yeah, you know what they always say
Led tritely through the land of the living cliché

Pride goes before a fall
Warnings scrawled
On crumbling walls
I know you’ve heard that old saw
It applies to us all
Meals of crow tend to stick in the craw

Impact always comes rumbling back
Duck and cover in the pre-storm calm
Folks who live in diamond jack shacks
Shouldn’t toss gravity bombs

{Chorus}

Signs of symmetry
Our common currency
Adages maximized
Updated restated
And routinely revised
Scraps of script
Insights improvised
Catch-phrases compromised
Mediums of exchange
Mottoes of the free range
Some things never do change
Yeah, some things never do change
