I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics
Plagiarize
Let no one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics
Plagiarize
Let no one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize

I've entered the game of pricks

Can't call you or on you no more

I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down
I'll put on my disease

I worked so hard for 40 years

Then one by one they got shot down
The youngest one held a gun to his ear
They ain't coming back
It's too late
They shot my babies but
They killed my faith
