      You burden me with your questions
      You’d have me tell no lies
      You’re always asking what it’s all about
      Now listen to my replies
      You say to me I don’t talk enough
      But when I do I’m a fool
      These times I’ve spent, I’ve realized
      I’m going to shoot through
      And leave you

      WINNER
