Tell it, my brothers!  Have YOU "Sold Out" to "Fizz Pop (Modern Rock)"?  Sisters, are YOU simply "Goin' Thru the Motions" while you wait for someone to "Pay My Bills"?  Are YOU waiting in "Public Buildings" to get your "Car Back"?  LISTEN, and ye shall RECEIVE, "Oh My Brothers"!

And you'll receive another comp on Thursday!  See "All You Zombies" then!
