Lyrics

We guarantee transparency
through a two-way mirror.
We welcome you with open arms,
but don’t come any nearer.
We feel for your misfortune.
We know you’ve had it rough.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
That will have to be enough.

We respect your privacy,
to swallow your pride and hide your shame.
We celebrate diversity,
just as long as it’s the same.
As long as you don’t deviate
too far from the norm,
conforming to what’s tried and true
in your plainclothes uniform.

We have zero tolerance
for any aberration.
Misbehavior will result
in excommunication.

We take responsibility,
but we will not accept the blame.
We foster inclusivity,
if not in fact, at least in name.
Our door is always open,
if the bouncer lets you in.
We’ll give you a seat at the table
to play a hand that you can’t win.

We have zero tolerance
for any aberration.
We don’t forgive. We won’t forget
your insubordination.

Do not dare to deviate
too far from the norm,
conforming to what’s tried and true
in your plainclothes uniform.
