Crooked Dotted Line

So, I’ve been thinking about your master plan
To get us out the mess we’re in
You can count me mostly in…
But I still have some questions that I wouldn’t mind you answering

So what exactly do you need to know?
I’ve explained one hundred times before
It’s not so complicated…
Just do everything I say and we’ll be laughing all the way back home

Ch)
Is there something we should sign? Is there something we should sign?
Convince me that it’s fine…
Then pass the crooked dotted line
Ain’t there something that we need to sign?

Now you’re sure about legalities?
You know the law has certain practices?
I have a niggling little doubt
I’m trying not to think about it
Which makes me think it is worth mentioning

Would you prefer to float or swim…
In the sea of shit we’re always in?
Just stick to what I said and don’t worry your little head
Everything will be as right as rain

Ch)…

It’s not mistrust or me being a touch paranoid
Some things just don’t add up and Lord I’ve tried
It’s not anything you’ve said
You know how easily I’m led
You say ‘jump’ I always say ‘how high?’

Just meet me as arranged and don’t be late
And please stop trying to calculate
Mathematics ain’t your strength
Stick to counting sheep in bed and let me save our scrawny necks again

Ch)…

OK, just show me where to sign
Just show me where to sign
You’ve convinced me that it’s fine
Pass that crooked dotted line
And show me where I need to sign
