It started as a favor
It started as a teaching moment
The complex of a savior
We did not mean to erode it
To erode their pride
To expose everything they hide.
It started as a joke
There wasn't much that made him great
Every time he spoke
We thought how could anyone relate?
Now it's too late
Here we are, stuck with this landscape
Now it's too late.
