Listen Mr. Cheshire

 

Listen, Mr. Cheshire, there is something you should know

Arrogance won’t serve you well on desolation row

You think you’ve got a foolproof plan

The blood will soak into the sand

And you will be the last one standing

When the gates have shattered

When the rats have scattered

 

Listen, Mr. Cheshire, with your gestures of disdain

All your smug dismissals end in someone else’s pain

Corruption’s on your resume

Greed is in your DNA

Petulance and megalomania

Superficial bluster

Artificial luster

 

You’re going down, Mr. Cheshire

You’re just a clown, Mr. Cheshire

 

Listen, Mr. Cheshire, with your postures and your lies

Impossible excuses and insipid alibis

Your words are empty, shrill, and fake

Your promises were made to break

You think you’re Caesar; you’re mistaken

Another shallow bastard

Racing toward disaster

 

You’re going down, Mr. Cheshire

You’ve come unwound, Mr. Cheshire

 

Listen, Mr. Cheshire, heed the writing on the wall

You scaled the heights of avarice and now you’re gonna fall

The punishment shall fit the crime

You’ll wallow with the other swine

You’d sink a friend to save a diamond

But now it’s you descending

Your followers defriending

No one left defending

Your expiration pending

 

You’re going down, Mr. Cheshire

You’re gonna drown, Mr. Cheshire

 

All of your games

All of your claims

All of the names

All of the blame

All your refrains

All your campaigns

All you disdain

All you profane

All of the flames

All of the shame

All of the stains

All that remains

 

And do you feel the mounting pressure?

Your dwindling minions voice displeasure

So you resort to desperate measures

And lose your grip on all you treasure

It’s only karma, Mr. Cheshire

It’s only karma come to getcha

It’s just the kiss of karma

It’s just the curse of karma

It’s only karma, Mr. Cheshire
