A Barbell for You

Posted by Prester John Friday, February 27, 2009 at 10:54 PM


Girl,
I need you to listen
Everyone you know and talk to
They judge you and mislead you
Everyone you've lent your heart to
Has always let you down
But don't despair and
don't
let
them
tear
you
down
You've got the brains
So don't let them tell you
Who you are or what to do
Don't let them swallow your pride
With their amphetamine lies
You're stronger than
you know
