There was a man who didn’t care, he didn’t care as long as there were rules to defy And so, unfettered by self doubt with confidence with confidence he rose high And he could sense the deference in leaden-footed duffers when they realised he feared no-one
And he remembered drinking games in college days, in college days they wish he’d forgotten But when a man can hold his drink while others duck he doesn’t blink at men gone rotten And when the climate is of fear it’s fun to be the puppeteer behind the curtain just pulling the strings
No matter how strong They always fall He flicks off the dust They’re just collateral
He loved to make the dials spin Adrenaline, adrenaline from the beginning He had a wife, he had a child but nothing made his pulse go wild like winning And when the herd is slow and thick It’s fun to be the maverick and watch them turning Just cracking the whip
No matter how strong They always fall He flicks off the dust They’re just collateral
Oh my children, wait for me I’m only breaking the glass so you can see
He wrote his book on strategy Now just a curiosity A mark of his time His words, once so inspiring now have a kind of hollow ring But one thing still chimes As sure as bankers hide their wealth A younger version of yourself Will soon be waiting ‘Cause you’re collateral Just collateral.
