the old man nothing to lose


The Old man cranks it up
He has nothing to lose in his game
He has been there done it before
So he will know what lie ahead

The master and his student
The tactical moves each has to play
One sits on the seat of power and authority
The Old Man has his methods and legacy

The Old Man teamed with the opposition
Other NGOs to settle the issues
The scandals hitting the nation
The poor economy raining tears

While the student calls
Chiding the old master all the same
On paper he looks formidable in his seat
With laws and agencies and members behind him

When money is dried up
When the chair is shaky on the ground
If he hasn't come out clean
A goal can be scored on his watch

The Old Man will never let go
The grip he has unseen by the student
He has the score sheet in his head
Don't try to underestimate the old wily fox!

Though he is old
He has to correct his mistakes
The nation has cried many tears
There is no way Bee Anne could stay
