Comeuppance

The Treading Lemmings

You asked for it, got it more than once
Picked a loser’s battle, now it’s done
Everything that goes around comes around again

A bit more than you bargained for
The other side’s set to settle the score
And everything’s gone around’s come around again

You made a meal of your cunning plan to “save the world”
But there’s no meat, we’re all finding out it’s just desserts

Comeuppance, got yours!
Comeuppance, your just desserts
Come to find there’s a chorus and you’re lost for words

Comeuppance, got yours!
Comeuppance, your just desserts
Come to find there’s a ledger and you’ve fallen short

Honest pay given for an honest day seemed fair enough
Now “Doesn’t Care” was made to care and you’re out of luck

Everything’s gone around’s come around again

Found it all left you wanting more
But you get just what you paid for
At complaints with your receipt looking lost again

Sussed it out, thought you had it solved
But paybacks are hell for all involved
And everything that goes around comes around again

You made a meal of your cunning plan to save the world
But there’s no meat, we’re all finding out it’s just desserts

Everything’s gone around’s come around again
