two choices use
You've got two choices: you could either complain about it, or use it as fuel to make you a better person.
body bones very-good
We definitely aren't very good at staying in one place. There's not a domesticated bone in my body.
writing past talking
Well, [bluntness in songwriting]'s a lot cheaper than therapy.... There's been a lot of things going on for the past 10 years that I just never really confronted, or used metaphors to do so. This time out I wanted to make sure that everyone knows what I'm talking about and where I'm coming from.

I also learned that a male is a bull and the baby is a calf.
