if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...

or a razor suit?

matured, then settled in
quite comfortably

mr. stick’s opinions mix
the friction of ambition
with reality

mr. stick has often stated
creativity is highly
overrated

mr. stick is patient
but his recent insights have not been
appreciated

mr. stick was shocked to find
his inner feral child
was a spoiled brat

mr. stick took classes
and racked-up some steep expenses
trying to cope with that

oh...let’s take a whiffa you
tally up your net worth
analyze your stool

if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...

ya know we’re in your corner
and we’re eager to approve

but are ya one of them goddam, girlie-boy raincoats
or A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?

that if other people did, well damn it
so would he

mr. stick got worried
that if other people were, well maybe
so was he

is always focused on
his lack of concentration.

mr. stick's still patient
but his recent insights have not
made a strong impression

oh...let’s take a whiffa you
allocate your assets
synthesize your mood
if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...

ya know we’re in your corner
and we’re eager to approve

but are ya one of them goddam, girlie-boy raincoats
or A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?
are you a man?

mr. stick thinks certain rock stars
from the 60’s should retire
gracefully

mr. stick, by living simply,
cheats the chilly, harsh critique

of history
mr. stick objected when
his recent insights on these matters
were rejected...
