The Men Who Drive the White Trucks

The men who drive the white trucks
Survey their dominions
The alpha males inflate their throat sacs
Calling forth their beta minions
The men who drive the white trucks
They’ve got a lot of mouths to feed
And those mouths keep multiplying
Soon they’ll take up trigonometry
And the people all wonder where the white trucks go
When the men melt away like late winter snow
With their unfinished structures locked in escrow
The bottom line is ruptured when the white trucks go
The men who drive the white trucks
Have affairs to which they must attend
Propping up the infrastructure
Vowing no one will replace them
The men who drive the white trucks
Share the data they’ve collected
From other men in other white trucks
In the vacuum they’ve created
And the people all wonder where the white trucks go
When the men melt away like late winter snow
With their unfinished structures locked in escrow
The bottom line is ruptured when the white trucks go
The men who drive the white trucks
Are all pre-diabetic, though
It doesn’t worry them none
Do they really need all ten toes?
The men who drive the white trucks
Yearn for their lost kingdom
For the day that they’ll get it back
When they shoot their way to freedom
