This Is A Game We Can’t Lose
This is a game we can’t lose
& I’m very good at taking cues
A reflexive wink or a low moan
Demanding a perfection we hone
Bliss comes in any position we choose

Bumper To Bumper Traffic
Bumper to bumper traffic
Snarls, passive aggressive smiles
Suburban assault vehicles
& this goes on for miles
Botox, plastic & hollow souls
Perfection to drive you insane
The things real housewives will do
To get their child from the pick up lane
