Career Ending Move
Lyrics by Karl Meyer

They almost pushed Larry to the brink
With that performance-improvement double-think
But he went out in a flame of glory
Wrote his own ending to the story, he said

You’re damn right I’ve got a point to prove
There’s nothing left that I can lose
I got a lit match next to the fuse
And here’s my latest career ending move

Let’s give it up for my friend Jane
Her husband tried to take her kid away
But his fancy lawyer wasn’t so hot
She kicked her habit, she took all he’s got, she said

You’re damn right I’ve got a point to prove
There’s nothing left that I can lose
I got a lit match right next to the fuse
And here’s my latest career ending move

Why kick yourself when the problem ain’t you?
Why just sit there and get screwed?
Why try to stop them when there’s no end?
Why mourn a death when there’s revenge?

Steve was smart, so is it any wonder?
The slightest misstep was deemed a blunder
But he got better of circumstance
Walking right out was his best chance, to say

You’re damn right I’ve got a point to prove
There’s nothing left that I can lose
I got a lit match right next to the fuse
And here’s my latest and very, very greatest career ending move
