I think if I was ever publisher I'd buy a pirate ship Where the mission at each position Is to shoot and to click Clean the photos up a little Censor the ship out of it So I could put it up in Borders Turn a profit on the trip Charge the public for the overhead Of 1492 And if they need a better reason Tell them we've got living proof And I would die a happy man Cause I did the best that I could do To find a better way of leading Should we leave that up to you Who was it that said it? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors At least the ones that live today Hey, hey
