[00:45.07]The brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter
[00:48.90]Then a hurricane came and devastation reigned
[00:52.53]Our man saw his future drip dripping down the drain
[00:56.55]Put a pencil to his temple connected to his brain
[01:00.11]And he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain

[01:53.18]Left him with nothing but ruined pride,something new inside
[01:56.83]A voice saying
[01:57.89]Alex you got fend for yourself
[01:59.96]He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf
