The Man who won’t listen.
You need the final word
A lust of modern sort.
You hardly catch my drift.
The substance of report.
You rush to blurt again
You love your trashy voice.
And once I thought
You were my friend
A stupid, stupid choice.
A joke takes too much time.
A story much the same.
And competition spoils the mix.
You’re tough and trite and lame.
