"Oh I am just a student, sir

But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke

So I'd like to make a promise
And I'd like to make a vow
That when I've got something to say, sir
I'm gonna say it now"

This is why people hate the rich. "Pumpkin stylists."
Pumpkin stylists are charging families north of $1,000 to create seasonal tableaus for their homes. “At first I didn’t understand why people would spend money to do this.”

As long as you think you can
You better watch out, watch out for the man
