As timely now as when lyric originally written (2016).  

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Words: CW Mullins and Fogey		
Music:  Fogey  

NOTHING ELSE SEEMED TO WORK
OTHER PLANS ALL FELL THROUGH
OPTIONS ALL EXHAUSTED
EXCEPT A MISERABLE FEW
SO THAT CHOICE WE’D REJECTED
SET BACK THEN NEGLECTED
MAYBE ITS TIME HAS COME ALONG 
AFTER ALL WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Chorus]
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?  WE ASK IN A SONG
DISGRACE AND DISASTER, THE END COMING FASTER
IF IT DOESN’T KILL US IT’LL MAKE US ALL STRONG
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

GOLDEN LADS AND LADIES
THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST
SOMEHOW THEY ALL FAILED US
THOUGH THEY’D PASSED EVERY TEST
BUT THAT GOOF OFF WE’D SCORNED
ABOUT WHOM WE WERE WARNED
MAYBE HIS TIME HAS COME ALONG

[Chorus]

HOW DID WE END  UP GETTING BACKED INTO A CORNER
AFTER PAINTING THE FLOOR BROWN?
HE’S GOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION
JUST BURN THE WHOLE THING DOWN 

IT’S TIME TO START OVER
WE CAN RESET THE CLOCK
WITH A HARD HEADED LEADER
YEAH A BRAIN LIKE A ROCK
SO WITHOUT MUCH REFLECTION
WE’LL MAKE OUR SELECTION
HIT THE ALARM AND BANG A GONG
BECAUSE, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Chorus]

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO?
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO?
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

What Could Go Wrong

If you're into modern rock bands like Black Keys, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, and Biffy Clyro, then the music from this closet rocker could be for you.
For older influences, you might detect some  Finn Brothers in various configurations (Split Enz, Crowded House, Neil and Tim solo and together), Brian Wilson, Grateful Dead, John McLaughlin, Gomez, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Bowie, and a bunch of others I’m forgetting at the moment.
In general, I play all the instruments, do all the arrangements, and do the heavy lifting on the vocals.
I tend to love music that rewards repeated listening rather than ear candy. That’s the spirit in which I hope you'll listen to this music.
I do both solo projects and collaborations with brother, who is on Soundcloud and Spotify as CW Mullins.  
CW pulled Fogey back into making music with a bunch of songs he had written and wanted to get recorded.  Collaboration started in 1983.  CW has carried the load on lyric writing, writes a lot of songs that Fogey performs and arranges, and Fogey writes music for some of CW’s lyrics.
