The Tragik Komedy of Precision Ben - Part I

I will make my name in futures
I will forget the past

I.

Precision Ben, proud
...handsome man
...boldly charismatic and
...smart damn smart
...fucking smarter than me
Set the pace, the race
...early on:

I will make my name in futures
I will forget the past

God, it was a beautiful start

We ran & ran & ran
Man, he could design and plan
Damn!, they told us we can't
And they were almost right
What a fight!
What a fucking damn fight!
When they closed us, abused us,
Certainly misused us
Stopping us
In the middle of the day
Scoffing us
I can still hear them say:
"Boys, go home and play
You're too young
Boys, go home and stay
Out of our way, go on."
And only Precision Ben
...stood in their way
To say:
I will make my name in futures
I will forget the past

And we won.

For awhile.
