lyrics

We open up our story in media res
A fancy way to say the middle of a mess
Heroes and heroines saving the day
as villains and villainesses get in the way

Meanwhile back at the revanche
Shovel meets dirt and rope meets branch
Narratives assembled barely stanch
wounds to make a body politic blanch

Flashback to origins for insight
hoping to learn how day turned to night
Pretty potemkin plots turned out wooden
and caught fire gradually and then sudden

Tell me how you handle a victory or a loss
I'll tell you how to count and what's the cost
You can wave a flag you can even start a war
But is power worth what some seek to restore?
