Or off-channel lines
Will make your rate better
Or attenuate mine
I know you heard me
You're tellin' a lie
I'm still on the band edge
But we wasted much time
Q's have been busted
Tears must be dried
Let's do some running
Until ending time
Loud voices
Couldn't push me away
Loud voices
You'll work me some day
