    Have you guys never heard of Roman engineering? The hypocaust? Underfloor heating, you morons! Apparently all their football pitches could be used all year round as well. And that's the real reason Romans built their roads straight - the hot air underneath had trouble going round corners.

    . . .
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

    Roman roads were straight because no one had invented steering wheels to go around bends.
