By hecky wotsit I could tell some stories...

I'd rather stay here with all the mad men
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
Yes I'd rather play here with all the mad men
'Cause I'm quite content they're all as sane as me

I've done many shit jobs over the years but only once have I been able to tell a boss to shove their shit job. I suspect that had the divine Ms B had the desire, she could have told Ronald McDonald where to stick his happy meal and not suffered.

If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what ever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there's nothing else to do
Oh!
