Perpetual Notion Lyrics by Bubblemath

Edit Peptide

0

Piles of old souvenirs forming walls. Twenty years backed up and down the halls. Miles of junk from a world of bunk, full of flimflam from a scheme or a scam, guide the life of a man taken in. Every plan ends where he's always been plied and played, like the time he paid for that old trash with the promise of cash fast. But the profits did not last. Still, he had a blast. The friends that he met, he would never forget

Now he needs something new to be true, to believe so he can muddle through how he feels when his pain appeals to his proud pose while his happiness grows dim, and everything gets grim, and opportunity seems slim. But just when he's crossed, thinking all is lost, a flyer intrigues him. All those hopes take hold, soon to be sold on this bold new claim, calling out his name:

Engines that prove their parts move perpetually, people who swear they're producing their energy free. Earnings will soar. Pay no more electric bills — selling the slack, extra power, back to power mills

"You will be blessed when you invest. Can't go wrong. We'll be your hub, 'cause we're a club with a strong sense of impunity. Look what we've got: one megawatt free and clear, from the machine bringin' the green over here, and over unity. Rake in the dough! We know you know you'll withdraw. So every line you had to sign, that you saw, gives us immunity from the law."

They demand more than he planned. It's a different deal than their spiel when he signed up. Bait and switch, no one gets rich, their equipment breaks. So he makes his mind up to ditch

"I call your bluff! I've had enough! I want out! Every excuse that you produce makes me doubt your authenticity. I can't adapt to getting slapped in the face, facing my heart falling apart in disgrace, by your duplicity."

"It's not our fault! It's an assault by the grand Government Oil, fighting to foil our command of electricity! You will be blessed when you invest! Oh, no, don't go!"

Head down, heading back home to sort and stack mounds of all of the things that he's stored, as he brings more, adding to his hoard. Pounds of gear from his new career in a franchise that was nothing but lies, fears, and false-hearted hopes holding sway. As he mopes down yet another day, tears roll on till his eye is drawn to a sweet sight. Something glossy and bright gleams. A pamphlet of new schemes, even better than it seems. He dares to decree it could easily be the answer to all his dreams
