We used to live in hole in road. We had to get up three hours before we went to bed, lick road clean, work twenty-seven hours a day up at mill, pay mill owner five pounds a day for the privilege, and when we got home, our Dad would thrash us to death with a broken bottle, if we were lucky.

"Here at home, we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets, one for everyone" "Just a machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young" "WoOoo"
