VISTA ALLOCATION

Vista allocation from the lunch box committee
won’t ya squirt a little light in my hole?
Why is the turkey bird filled up with confetti
and the news of how you doctored the polls
Ain’t it a shame that my cynicism’s clear?
Pledges of allegiance are a thing of the past
Ain’t it a shame that I’m less than cavalier?
Oh vista allocation who to trust?
For there’s no more truth except for the files on us

C.I.A Dude :
Let me see ah... 27b Stroke 6, curly haired man going bald around forty
pretending to be a composer... That’s you, right?

Lawyer caledonia cantoneezer fat bologna past the
participle pirates parade
It means a bunch of nothing
like those bozo politicians at the poly fickle liars brigade
Ain’t it ashame that the eagle had to die?
Leavin’ it’s scrawny caucus on the poor people’s lawn
Ain’t it ashame that that the eagle has expired?
Oh vista allocation we’ve been had
By the one true god and who smells just like money and gnads...
(Smell it. Big ones. Go Nads. Go team go!)

Longwood Cheerleaders :
YEAH... GO TEAM WIN!

Push says the dolly as I nail her with my body in a dream I had
In comes the born again conservative
kind of robot tryin’ to thwart my plans
What is right isn’t exactly what is right or by nature what it’s suppose to be
Harry Harrison, Harry Harrison, Harry could ya play a golden oldie for me?
From the good old days
Yeah, the good old days
When I was still young and naive
(back in the gray years - back in the salad days)

Vista allocation from the lunch BOX committee
won’t ya sneak a little soul in my shoes
The ones I got are hurtin’ from your man behind the curtain
Mr. “latest tax evasion guru”
Ain’t it a shame that us poor ones have to cry?
Your medical mafia meanies keep us barely alive
Ain’t it deranged that your neutral is in drive?
Oh vista allocation blessed it be
What a mess you’ve made
What a mess you’ve made
What a mess you’ve made!
Better off that we don’t see

Hear no, see no, speak no evil - oh no
Hear no, see no, speak no evil - oh no
Hear no, see no, speak no evil - oh no

RUDOLPH'S ANNOYING BOTTOM LINE

The OLD MAN : Why is he always by himself all the time?
Is there something wrong with the kid? Is there something wrong with the plate?

Voice of Reason : He’ll grow out of it. Take it easy.

The OLD MAN : Take it easy? Whaddaya mean take it easy?
The world’s got no time for this guy. Ya can’t take it easy.
What’s a matter with you? There is absolutely no time to take it
easy. Everybody run, run, run, don’t you know?
If you’re not out there working... you’re already twenty one...
(un-intelligible dialog)

FLO :
I think somebody kicked him in the head or something.
I’m not really sure. Alice?

Doug McKenzie : You know a lot of people have asked me...

Nervous Comic : Why in the world does the guy have such
a weird voice? Doesn’t he know? Doesn’t he realize?

(Under a warped version of "Residual Echoes Residing In Bogle Cabinet #47
(part A)", Susan Battley speaks :

Let’s start today with a brief detour to the Oxford English dictionary to look up the term, “entrepreneur”. Not surprisingly entrepreneur is derived much as it sounds from the French language. With references to it’s use in English going back at least to the 15th century. The French verb, “entrepondre”, means to undertake. And entrepreneur is someone who undertakes a task.
Indeed, entrepenuers are supreme enterprises today as they were some five hundred years ago. Speaking of today, with feet planted firmly in the present we’ll change our focus from the past to the future.
