Classics are on the Shelf
It doesn’t pay to get close.
Everybody is playing king of the hill.
Competitive world.
Concentrate on your own career.
Classics are on the shelf.
Virgin or victim … it’s your choice.
Not much to say anymore.
No point to life.
Just to have something worthwhile.
Family and chores are important.
Easy does it.
Do your best.
