I come from humble beginnings, I never had lots of money enrich me
I struggled to make ends meet and just to punctuate simply
(How ironic someday that would be...) then it suddenly hit me
These people were from all walks of life, yet I planned on running this city
As a carny life isn't fair, but the underworld lifts me
How could one mind their business if one didn't know company history
?
Hired goons die one hundred times, that's the trouble with sentries
No surprise underpinning my own prizes doubled my winnings
Went to a prestigious college at last; I'm too cunning and witty
Graduated at the top of my class, yet pieces of the puzzle were missing
Hunted out the biggest name in the industry, an intercom muttered a quick greet
I said "I have a few questions for your boss, can you think about buzzing me in, please"
?
I thought should I don the cape and cowl
? Maybe change my name to something with mystery...
?
Then I heard "Mr. Wayne will see you now, Mr. Nashton..."
... and I couldn't stop grinning.
