The Ride’s Not Broken

(Original Song by BIZZYNICCI)

Lyrics

They put balloons on the warning signs
Said “relax, it’s part of the theme”
Confetti in the control room
Everyone dressed like they’re clean

There’s a man with a microphone
Selling confidence by the pound
He keeps shouting “almost there!”
As the floor starts bowing down

Roll up, roll up
Don’t be shy
Ignore that sound
That’s just supply
If it tilts
If it bends
That’s what happens
When you innovate

They call it bold
They call it faith
They call it leadership
When it’s late
They call it vision
I call it loud
You can’t out-clap
A load-bearing sound

I tried to point
They handed me a hat
Said “wear this, smile, don’t ruin it”
Like collapse is bad for the brand

Everyone’s drunk on momentum
No one checks the screws
They keep mistaking noise
For something that’s built to last

Step right up
Take the bait
Sign your name
On the waiver page
If it breaks
If it burns
Act shocked
Like you didn’t learn

They keep asking
“Who could’ve known?”
Like foresight’s rude
If it’s spoken too soon
Like math is optional
If vibes are strong
Like gravity waits
Till consensus is formed

I don’t scream
I don’t flinch
I don’t chant
I don’t pitch
I just watch the smiling people
Fall through
What they insisted
Was solid

There’s a prize booth full of titles
No refunds
No returns
They hand them out
Right before
The inevitable turn

When the lights flicker
They cheer louder
When it sways
They chant “more!”
Nothing scares people faster
Than someone
Not pretending anymore

So keep the bells
Keep the smoke
Keep the speech
You memorized
I’ll be counting exits
Like I always do
With my shoes still tied

When the music cuts
And the dust comes down
Don’t look for me
In the crowd
I don’t stay
For the finale
I leave when the joke
Stops being funny

Smile big
Wave goodbye
The ride’s not broken
It’s “redefined”
