Cynicism or realism? Either way, hope springs eternal.

If you want good news, you know I got bad news But if you want bad news, I got plenty The glass, it ain’t exactly half full But doesn’t mean that it’s half empty

The first time’s the best time to do the right thing The second best time is always now Forgiveness don’t remove consequence Any more than the rain follows the plow

There aren’t many options left But there’s no need to be bereft

It’s gonna get worse before it gets worse But then it might get better

Cassandra lost her voice up on the rooftop The smoke detector battery is dead All the warning systems were defunded Got the tapestry is hanging by a thread

You can’t fumigate away the dry rot The termites eat the new construction too Long past the point of simple renovation Time to do the things we’ve gotta do

We’re gonna take it on the chin It’s not an if but when

It’s gonna get worse Before it gets worse But then it might get better

It’s gonna get worse Before it gets worse Someday it might get better

If we’re gonna make it through We’ve got a lot of work to do
