Idiot

Idiot

While raising the bar

I think outside the box

Placing all my ducks in a row

Without putting the cart before the horse

Drastic times call for drastic measures

There was a method to such madness

Speaking of the Devil

Whose ethnic cleansing

Cut corners

From a piece of cake

I still couldn't fathom

What to make of it

So

Jumping on bandwagons

Your guess is as good as mine

While running out of a good time

If we wouldn't be caught dead

It was all in my head

I heard it through the grapevine

Since cats have nine lives

To make a long story short

I let sleeping dogs lie

In the face of it

As

During the heat of the moment

Bit by bit

Nobody else would give a shit

It was a blessing in disguise

Not to beat about the bush

For what I could surmise

The cost was an arm and a leg

While jumping to conclusions

I still had to beg

As if my life depended on all

Idiomatic intrusion

Language invades

Verbal allusion

Fooling the many

As needs must

For war bleeds

Without counting the cost

Right on the money

When I come to think about it

I get sick to my tummy
