Bonum Certa Men Certa

My Way, by Bill Gates

My Bribe, My Way

Vador before after containment: When you make an example concession becomes subconscious



Summary: An all-time hit by none other than Microsoft's co-founder, who certainly did everything his own way

And now, the end is near And so I face the most uncertain My foe, I'll say it clear I'll state my demands, of which I'm certain I've lived a life of crime I traveled each and every public office And more, much more than this, I bid it my way



Regrets, I've had a few But then again, Epstein's arrested I did what I had to do And saw it done without exemption I planned each charted plane Each careful flight along the byway And more, much more than this, I flew it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bribed more than I could get away with But through it all, when there was doubt I bribed the regulators too and spit them out I faced it all and I paid the toll and did it my way

I've bribed, I've sabotaged and lied I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as independent journalists subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I bribed them my way

For what is a crook, what has he got? If not himself, then he's another Trump To say the things he truly feels And make every public official beg as he kneels The record shows I served the blows And did it my way

Yes, it was my way
