Shelby Smiles
14 May 2012, Orphans, track 4
A sombre look at the human results of the Whiskey Media breakup, framed as a message for Jeff Gerstmann and as a follow up to The Express and Ryan.
Here is a thread on Giant Bomb about it, including a link to an instrumental version.
rorie is the lowest he has ever been
he has no time for you
and ryan's spending time with his beyonce
he has no time for you
the 3ds has brought with it
a new era of usability
it's been a long time coming
but no-one needs you any more
what are you for?
----
you had your chance to save yourself and you
you blew it
you had your chance to save your company
you blew it
----
will and norm pretending they're employed
it is a sad scene
gina fights back tears while they record
it is a sad scene
gary, taking pity, plays along
and acts like normal
but on the first of every month
he sends what he can spare
in the name of berman braun
----
somewhere in his mansion, shelby smiles
----
and now they're trying to build a wall between you all
and so you tear it down
the engineers are torn away from django
php will make them frown
meanwhile, several thousand miles away
a man makes choices
he chooses you
he chooses to
abandon rorie too
----
you had your chance to save yourself and you
you blew it
you had your chance to save your company
you blew it
