WOULDN'T YOU???

 
you'd think everybody had a personalized
          ambassador.
you'd think everybody was a realist
          or a bible salesman.
you'd think everybody could see
          it coming before it came.

          THERE IS A SIMILARITY...
          I CAN SMELL IT.
you'd think everybody would unleash themselves
          during sleep.
you'd think everybody had slipped
          between the gears of the great machine.
you'd think SOMEBODY would say something
          before it was too late.
you'd think so wouldn't you?
