i think a lot about the times when i was old and full on lines

like man it's all so hip or was it groovy

little children started building not with bricks

but with what they had been told was

the fact that you can get away with murder

if two and two were joined

by two they'd equal 6

little children started building not with bricks

and without even the prompting will bestow on you

the daunting little words that mean

has been
