Unfinished Business
A bundle of unfinished business lingered from the Depression - nagging questions about ingrained venality, mean human nature and the way unchecked urban growth threw society dangerously out of whack.

Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self-professed profound
Till the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Love is a Losing Hand

Some men get the world, some men get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona. You're in with the former, but my god, I don't envy the blood on your conscience.
