GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
(To the tune of "Going Through the Motions," from the Kansas album Drastic Measures)
 
 
Standing in line at the usual time in a tricky double-bind
Are you going through the motions?
Have you seen the latest polls?  Is your ship upon the shoals?  Are you raking through the coals?
Are you going through the motions?
 
And is you case just a reflection of what's gone before?
Don't you ever stop and wonder what you're up here for?
Does the public really wonder whether Willie lied?
Are you for real or are you going through the motions?
 
Hearsay, their-say, "censure and a fine" -- are you running out of time?
Going through the motions
Some things never change: cut the loss, spin defeat, dodge the press, keep your seat
Are you going through the motions?
 
And is you case just a reflection of what's gone before?
Don't you ever stop and wonder what you're up here for?
Does the public really wonder whether Willie lied?
Are you for real or are you going through the motions?
 
Stop and take a look around you
Don't say that you don't care
Lawyers going through the motions everywhere
 
I know it isn't easy
It gets tougher every day
But you keep going through the motions anyway
 
Going through the motions
