Milton Mower
Milton Mower: A Tale of Allegiance and Deception
Lyrics
Milton Mower was a hardworking patriot
Milton Mower was a diligent patriot.
Who gave at church and loved his wife
He contributed to the church and had affection for his spouse.
Not many quarters filled his cursing jar
Not many curses filled his swear jar.
Parked his Corvette in the garage at night
He parked his Corvette in the garage at night.
One Friday Milton got a call from work
Milton received a work call on a Friday.
His quarter's numbers didn't look too good
His financial performance at work wasn't favorable.
"The market's down," they said, "and cuts had to be made"
The market was down, leading to necessary cuts at work.
They hoped that Milton understood
They hoped Milton would comprehend the situation.
Security brought in a box of Milton's things
Security brought a box of Milton's belongings.
A quiet thank you all he had to say
Milton expressed a quiet gratitude for the gesture.
While the CEO's race horses ate like kings each day
CEOs indulged while Milton negotiated severance pay.
Milton sat here negotiating his severance pay
Milton sat, negotiating his severance pay.
They buy the legend of a mountain climb
They believe in a fabricated achievement.
Take the trophy and lock it away
Achievements are hidden away after being celebrated.
Just wait and see
Just wait and observe.
See how long you can believe
Test how long one can maintain belief.
There's a conscience
There exists a conscience.
There's a rule
There are rules, and they're not deceiving you.
And they're not playing you for a fool
They are not playing you for a fool.
Milton sat in church that next Sunday
Milton attended church the following Sunday.
Their shepherd red-faced in vehement defense
The pastor vehemently defended the church.
"Only a fool would trust a Jezebel," he said
He labeled trusting a Jezebel as foolish.
"Trust God to shield the innocent"
He advised trusting God to protect the innocent.
That night, the news announced a string of crimes
News reported crimes committed by church clergy that night.
Perpetuated by the church clergy
The church clergy were involved in criminal activities.
Now Milton's alms would fund a first-class legal team
Milton's donations would fund a legal defense for the accused.
Tasked with protecting just another wolf in sheep's clothing
Protecting another wrongdoer disguised as a good person.
No price too high to keep your spirits low
No cost is too high to suppress one's morale.
Bow your head and close your eyes
Bow your head and close your eyes.
Just wait and see
Just wait and see.
See how long you can believe
Observe how long belief can be sustained.
Take a deep breath and a pill
Take a deep breath and a pill.
They're gone by the time you know what's real
They vanish by the time reality becomes apparent.
Nothing like calling common sense a crime
Labeling common sense as a crime maintains fear and control.
To keep you afraid and in line
Instilling fear to keep individuals obedient and in line.
