How Many Does It Take?

[Lightning Rod]

OK, I thought we were a team
you know, like Burns and Allen
Stan and Ollie, Laurel and Hardy
through thick and thin
partners to the end

I guess it was just my illusion
I thought we were Chip and Dale
tit for tat and all of that
Martin and Lewis
Cheech and Chong
Penn and Teller
Ding and Dong

I thought we were give and take
make or break, soup or steak
I thought it was a partnership
like Barnes & Noble or Barnum & Bailey
Proctor & Gamble, Sears & Roebuck
but what the fuck.

I guess I was wrong
do you know how many people it takes to make a partnership?
Two.
and how many does it take to break a partnership?
One.
