An army to the east and another to the west
That made his position in the middle very problematic
The command had told him to flee and save as many of his troops as he could
And that was tempting, but this was the small town his wife had grown up in
Couldn’t leave her family and friends to become at most a footnote in history
Knowing it was futile, he gave the order to charge. Maybe it would give them enough time to escape.
Zebras scattered among the savanna grass
It made for a dizzying pattern for the approaching lioness
Giving her pause as to which way to attack
Zooming through the waving foliage, she struck out
And only managed to slap at a tail as what it was attached to scrambled away
Giving chase, her pride managed to finally take one down as the rest of the dazzle escaped
She felt under attack during her interview
It seemed that every person wanted to tear her apart, break her
Every time she had five minutes to herself, she almost broke down and cried
Getting this chance was her way to something so much better, but was the battle worth it
Examining her casualties, she decided no.
Striking him across the face gave her satisfaction
Which brought all activity in the room to a halt
It caused him to hesitate to react to her attack
Pirouetting away from him, she stormed her way out
Everything had gone to plan. No one would question if she had stolen anything.
Looking at everything to do in front of me,
It gets overwhelming and I begin to sweat.
So how do I attack such a formidable task
The only thing I can think of is start a new …
So he was happy with being a circle
He liked that better than being a square
And he loved all the food pyramid equally
Perhaps he should have used the heart attack as a stop sign, but…
Eventually it caught up to him, and he was placed in a rectangle box
Suddenly Marvin had a panic attack
Under his calm exterior, his emotions were surging
Perplexed at how his luck had turned so quickly
Eyesight grew dark around the edges as his pulse went through the roof
Reacting to winning the lottery shouldn’t be this stressful

When you cross that finish line and accomplish the difficult
Obviously, you feel accomplishment, but that’s just the beginning
Now you have to ask what’s next and attack it
All the things were out to get him
Now his wife was in on the mission
Xenon headlights broke the darkness in front of his speeding car
If he could just get across the state line
Eventually, they would give up their chase
Then flashing lights stabbed him from behind
Yanking the wheel hard to the right he crashed through the guardrail
All of a sudden he was in free fall
That was when it finally hit him
They couldn’t follow him here
All they could do was watch
Calm now he accepted the oncoming water with a smile
Knowing he had finally escaped

Mucking around the cesspool of false information
Until Mack found the dirt he needed for his attack
Dripping the ooze behind him, he delivered his first salvo
