Glenn Turner sample: "And if we seem nutty to you and if we seem like an odd ball to you, just remember one thing. The mighty oak tree was once a nut just like me."
And if it was just how you wanted
You´d be glued to his bones and his brainstem
And changing your image and attitudes
Won´t bring him back into your bedroom
Amputating as he´s waiting
Amputating
He´s unresponsive ´cause you´re irresponsible
Little swinger, your bottle is thinking too much
´Cause you´re aiming to please way off target
And I´ll tell you what you must already know
Of amputating that too slow
Amputating as he´s waiting
Amputating
He´s unresponsive ´cause you´re irresponsible
Amputating as he´s waiting
Amputating
He´s unresponsive ´cause you´re irresponsible
Amputating as he´s waiting
Amputating
He´s unresponsive ´cause you´re irresponsible
Glenn Turner sample: "And I pray to God that one day, He will grant me the power to reach out and hold my hand over your head and give you instant belief, ´cause you don´t have instant belief. You´ve been hooked, you´ve been crooked, you´ve been lied to so many times, that you´re suspicious-minded. And when the right thing comes along, you don´t believe in it. When I´m coming in knocking on the front door, you´re out the back door looking for four leaf clovers. And when you find it, you think somebody planted it there to fool you. ´Whats the angle?´ You look for an excuse. In this modern day and age we have instant coffee and instant tea--instant disbelief. Thats the reason we will never become anything--it is because we will never believe in ourselves. We will always listen to the mass majority. If everybody´s making fun of you and criticizing you, then you know you´re on the right track. Cause most people ain´t got it."
