“Once, once in your life
Won’t you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big compromise
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight.”— Butch Walker and the Black Widows, “Synthesizers”

Don’t tell anyone there. They’d probably think it was a perk. And they’d believe it when they said it too.
