An Ode To Those Who Lead But Do Not Follow

Stuck inside a situation That you know you won't get out Every moment's counted down So that the clock knows your face now And you Sit there and take it Count the days and you Don't know to fake your smile and laugh Everybody plays the game The rulebook's somewhere out there now But no one bothered sending you a copy Basic rules were out And you Could never quite climb it like them, now Snake and ladders, you Toss the snakes and climb that ladder down
