lyrics

(mm)

Page forty-one, clause nine, a sentence with a comma in it
That comma moved four hundred thousand dollars over ten years
I circled it in green because red felt aggressive
(felt aggressive)
Green. I chose green. I want that on my headstone.

They had assumed nobody reads to forty-one (to forty-one)
Statistically they were right, and statistically I am rare

Page forty-one
(forty-one)
Everything they hoped I would be too tired to reach
Page forty-one
I was not tired. I had coffee. I had all night.

The lawyer they sent afterwards was very good and very young
She said "you should do this professionally" and meant it kindly
I said I do, just not for money, and she laughed
(and she laughed)
It wasn't a joke but I let her have it, it was late

My mother taught me to read contracts at nineteen.
She'd signed a bad one at twenty-two.
Every clause I catch is one she didn't. That's the whole thing.
(bass returns)
