Every Saturday we work in the yard, pick up the dog doo, hope that it's hard.
Inside the silence is a melody.
I wrote these songs for a dying planet, I'm sorry, but I'm telling the truth.
I'm running against a woman who's got David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel running her campaign.
Now I'm running against a woman who, my God, that's all she talks about. Our true heroes, it's the last thing in the world they talk about.
