""Someone should tell you about what you've said before. Keep it like a secret. But act like you mean it. If this is the \""big time\"" the sin and the sacred where fair is a point of view take what you get. Yeah I get the \""punchline\"" it's thin and it's faded. Is it all the same to you asleep in bed? I'd say you'd be wrong.""
