Influence Is Everything

A puppet or a string
Or a puppet on a string
Or wouldn’t you know
Influence is everything

Nobody loves you when you’re down and out
Another story altogether when you’re flush with clout
Sweet is the life, no sorrow the story
Lift him up, shoot him down
Ring around the rosy

Sweet is the life, no sorrow the story
A fresh paint job, keep smiling
Ring around Their rosary
Silly McMuffins cry death’s a story

But it doesn’t have to be like this
That story told from His Petrogliphs
McQuota meets Mass Misfits
That’s what I say

It doesn’t have to be like this
Influence is everything
Hear what I say
They will shift your night from day

Just stay away
Don’t swallow their lies
Don’t inject their poisons
Don’t eat their fruits
Don’t Don’t Don’t
Don’t let them take your mind
Your soul is not for sale
Don’t let them get
Under your skin
Don’t let them touch

Your scent intransigent
Yet so effervescent
