The Figurants - Paulson Lyrics

The mayor promised us a brand-new playground
We had hoped to lure our children from the shadows of the Earth
But he hasn't done a thing at all since August
So our children yawn but maybe not
Seen rarely so since their birth
The movie was so bad that no one's seen the end
The audience had been had and some had sued their friends
Maybe it didn't end or it all depends on
Whether you believe the assertion that we're dopes
And that we hadn't finished it because we're a bunch of mopes
When he was reelected into office
He started acting wildly and would call us "whiny clowns"
His new investigative sub-committee
Had voted to evict us all to throw us from our town
