===Ecce Homo 11.docx=== | |||
<poem>Go to Carlthorp even if you’re freaky | |||
Practice Czerny till your fingers bleed | |||
Do some service, maybe candy striping | |||
Things like that will round out your SATs | |||
These are the rules of life | |||
And we must comply if we wanna be written up in history | |||
These are the rules of life | |||
And we must abide if we wanna be everything we’re meant to be in life | |||
These are simply the rules of life | |||
Work at Berkshire, slowly move your way up | |||
Federal Express don’t come overnight for free | |||
Find a partner, someone to share your life with | |||
Someone to soothe you when you catch a dread disease | |||
And then they’ll fuck you, fuck you | |||
Yeah, it’s just as simple as that, woah | |||
Show them what you got | |||
You little snot | |||
Give it a go</poem> | |||
