This is a character assassination
This is a character that needs a vacation
Too soon, too long, too much for one mind

We got to step back and take inventory
You're only seeing one side of the story
And a good story is changing all the time
There is always one more sucker doing fine
One more trucker driving that white line
Delivering nothing to no one everywhere

  D (xx0232@1)      ADelivering (x02220@1)nothing
   C#m (x13321@4)      BTo (x2444x@1)no one everywhere
