Interlude 2
Verse 5
Alas, it's not a perfect world, is it?
So, once again, we come to
Roger's favorite moment in the evening.
But this is philosophy.
Think about this philosophy.
Country music is philosophy, you know,
for such as the broken promiscuity of truth, that
Less is mortality and decadence,
merely something that happens
every 10 years or so.
You all like country music?
I say, y 'all like country music?
All right.
You won't after this, I promise you.
How did you like the song?
