The Old Clichés
Whatever happened to chips off the old blocks?
Into computers, video games and punk rock.
Whatever happened to an ace in the hole?
Into bad debt and bad credit beyond control.
Whatever happened to all for one, and one for all?
Into self, looking inward, and dropping the ball.
Whatever happened to the whole ball of wax?
Into corruption, deceit and capital gains tax.
Whatever happed to catching forty winks?
Into rushing, working, rushing to buy minks.
Whatever happened to hat in hand?
Into burning the flag and desecrating the land.
Whatever happened to honor, value and respect?
Into rejecting, misdirecting, and neglect.
