                                                 me.  Every  aspect  of my  life,  from  gangbanging  G.l.  Joes  to  the  zone

                                                           Even if it lands you  in a  straight jacket or padded cell.
                                                      Play the game,  but play it your own way —   part of the time at least.

                                                       and shudder —   the man  knows,  and can  look on without a wink.
