Adapt

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The tide is high, sandbag your street!

Converging, swelling channels meet

The torrent roars, banks are breached

Stay calm, be cool, a part at least

The brakes are on, controlled retreat

Quick-go-slowly, heart valve weak

Fairness flounders, sincere cheats

Disgraced champions, taste defeat

Beware the timely statement leak...

The trigger is the price of meat

Barricade your first floor doors

Evacuate your sick and poor

Be larger picture, stronger, deep

Be good, be bad, be more, elite

A prince of bread, a pint of peace

In Middle Earth, in Middle East

Go east, go north, go south, go west

Leave mouths open, with your best

Adapt to change, stay unimpressed

Adopt: 'Chekov', to family crest
