“Better ask questions before you shoot,
Deceit and betrayal's bitter fruit.
It's hard to swallow, come time to pay
That taste on your tongue don't easily slip away.
Let kingdom come I'm gonna find my way
Through this lonesome day.”

—  Bruce Springsteen

Where did today go?
Why does it rain so much when it says so?

“My child arrived just the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew,
He'd say, "I'm gonna be like you, dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."”

“Day by day there's a man in a suit / Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think and the words / They won't let you say
I don't believe in magic / Life is automatic
And I don't mind being on my own.”
