The Only Music I Don't Like Is

I Got In The School Band And The School Choir. It All Hit Me Like A Ton Of Bricks, Everything Just Came Out. I Played Percussion For A While, And Stayed After School Forever Just Tinkering Around With Different Things, The Clarinets And The Violins.

Empty The Cup Every Time And It Comes Back At Twice As Full. I Developed That Attitude When I Was Very, Very Young, When I Decided I Didn't Want To Be A Gangster Anymore. Whether It's Just Shining Shoes, I Said Okay, I'm Going To Do This Better Than Anybody Else Did It In My Life.

Communications Are Making This One World. Back In The Day, 400-500 Years Ago, Nobody Knew What Anyone Else Was Doing. It's On The 6 O'clock News Now. Now We Can Say, Oh, That's The Way They Live. Oh, They Do That!! Opportunities, The Chance To Bring About Change, It's All Based On Communication. Communication And Jet Planes.

Though Negative Things Have Happened To Me, God Somehow Let Me Know That Becoming Bitter Was Not The Way To Go. You Die When You Do That. Someone Once Told Me That If You Fully Open Your Arms To Receive Love, You'll Get Some Scratches And Cuts On Your Arms, But A Lot Of Love Will Come In. If You Close Your Arms, You Might Never Get Cut - But The Good Stuff Won't Come In Either.

Playing The Game, And Unfortunately, Playing The Gangster Game Is Very Profitable.
