I hope they all fall through'cause this is no joke to methey don't fool mewith their acts of sensitivitythey too shall passjust like everyonewho's only here for my assand I can't waitoh I can't wait til they get their duebaby I've only got a minutebaby I have to goa minute is all my lifewill ever allowlet's grow oldand die togetherlet's do it nowbecause you'll do all the jobsno one else will doand you'll step asideand you will let me come throughyou have all my respect
