Went to work at the factory at fourteen. Thought I'd finish my schooling sometime in between drunken weekends and futile street fights and the visits to my best girl. But the time slipped away. I've got bills here to pay. I've got small ones depending on me. My vision is limited. Shut up Joe. How do you really know what's going down? How can you tell if there's a problem somewhere to be found? We all need to gather round to help everybody else to see that running your mouth aloud makes it that much more difficult for you and me and OUR INTEGRITY.
All my life I've known I'd want to say something to my fellow man today. Couldn't let the facts get in the way.
We weren't that well acquainted, never were. An occasional run-in we preferred. There's one thing that we both believe in; heard it over and over again. It was something about all the fondness we felt; how the heart can't miss what's not around if the mind doesn't value it. Shut up Joe. How do you really know what's going down? How can you tell if there's a problem somewhere to be found? We all need to gather round to help everybody else to see that running your mouth aloud makes it that much more difficult for you and me and OUR INTEGRITY.
