With the brain at the wheel
The eye on the road
And the hand to the left
Pleasant be your progress
Explorer producer stoic after your fashion
Change
Change to
To what speed to what underwear
Here is a town here a mill
Nothing surprizes you old horseface
Guzzle guzzle goes the siren
And the world will learn to admire and applaud your concern
with the parts your firmness with employees and your justice to your friends.
Your pride will not be overridden
Your faith will go unmortified.
