Music Lovers, I give you Ben Folds...(I think it fits the mood...)

[Taverner]

So I'm lookin' at all the people in this restaurant
What do you think they weigh?
Look out the window to the parking lot
at their SUVs taking all of the space
They give no fuck
they talk as loud as they want
They give no fuck
just as long as there's enough for them
Gonna get on the microphone down at Wal-Mart
Talk about some shit that's been on my mind
Talk about the state of this great nation of ours
People, look to you left, yeah, look to your right
They give no fuck
they buy as much as they want
They give no fuck
just as long as there's enough for them
(piano solo)
So I look at the people lining up for plastic
I'd like to see 'em in the National Geographic
Squatting bare-assed in the dirt eating rice from a bowl
With a towel on their head or maybe a bone in their nose
See that asshole with the peace sign on his license plate
Giving me the finger and running me out of his lane
God made us number one cause he loves us the best
Well maybe he should go bless someone else for a while, give us a rest
Just so everyone can see
We've eaten all that we can eat

2. a (slightly) funny story....

when he was Ben Folds Five, I always thought "folds" was a verb... so when I heard Ben Folds was coming, I asked everyone, "folds what?" They enjoyed a giggle at my expense.
