You can get yourself out of many things
And sometimes get back into them
When parameters change

Parameters
On more than one occasion, I’ve had to stop and turn around
Before this information gets buried in the ground again
I hardly ever notice, I hardly ever see
Exactly when the best time is
To take it out and burn it or to bury it again in the dirt
You know I'm not complaining
I'm not one to take that route
You know I'll never question, the working notes or the final report
Cause memory is selective
and what's written down, is what memory sees
and certainty certainly seldomly covers
six of one, half dozen of the other
Nothing is exactly the same
from minute to minute
Everything begins again
from minute to minute
With a screwdriver, wrench and a hammer
You can get yourself out of many things
And sometimes, get back into them
When parameters change
But there’s one thing you’ll never get out of
Or find a way to get back into again
Even if you study hard and take lots of notes
And get extra credit and never act up
