Avoiding Split Decisions
Listen to me now
Attend to the words I say
Echoes may be false
Sure, follow your dreams
But life is a spider’s web
You are but a fly
Shuttle to and fro
Pulverize your enemy
Somehow stay intact
Clear every hurdle
There’s no level playing field
Use any means you can
Very Darwinian, Old Egg, primal survival on the uneven field.
