Risk assess Divide the cost of payout By the amount of deaths And if the costs outweigh the deaths... Let 'em freefall But if the deaths outweigh the costs... Product recall

No one will know your name! Fill in the blanks and stake your claim! Free gift, free gift if you sign right here But I took a hit and it cost me dear It zanonymous! That's what they said It zfabulous! That's what I read It zdelicious So it's what I ate But they lied, and now It make me bilious Roll up roll up! Don't be afraid You can win big, and we all get paid But the only lucky bugger is you And I'm stuck on hold, number 10 in the queue It zanonymous! That's what I thought It zfabulous!

1. Burn down the old arcade That once played carnival melodies And siren songs Cave in the hall of mirrors And the struts where we felt we belonged Ch. Like a beacon in the night The bright bright pier's alight 2. Smoke out the fire brigade It's too late to save the tragic comedians With their insincere vagaries Charred out the hollow jokes Like black and blue and red chameleons. Ch. Like a beacon in the night The bright bright pier's alight Make souvenirs from the remains, and rebuild and start again.

SGW 00:41
It takes more effort to say SGW than it does to say shotgun wound. And SGW has more than one meaning. Is it a wound or a wedding, or are they the same thing?

1. Forced suicide cover up Classic conspiracy buttercup Cholera fabrication shocks We're still reeling from the loss Pre-chorus. You should be ashamed So what, if a genius is gay Chorus. Everybody cried, everybody cried About Tchaikovsky's suicide But... Everybody lied, everybody lied About Tchaikovsky's suicide 2. In a 'court of honour' More like a court of horror Old classmates order the poison 'Cause you weren't one of the boys, and... Pre-chorus. You should be ashamed So what, if anyone is gay Chorus. Everybody cried, everybody cried About Tchaikovsky's suicide But... Everybody lied, everybody lied About Tchaikovsky's suicide

Memoirs 01:44
This is what I've learned during my short time on this earth... When the light fades All that really matters in how much love you've put into the world Has the good outweighed the bad? Have I been Kind? Did I care? Was I honest? If you can answer yes to these questions, you can close your eyes and leave with a smile on your face Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference
