It’s the same old song, same old dance Hey, he’s bound for glory He ain’t nothing but a hollow man He basked in the glow of the fortune and fame Even threw the first pitch at the World Series game He always maintained he had nothing to hide No one ever suspected he was empty inside (Chorus) Hey, he don’t know what he’s doing They set him up so high, he never had a chance Hey, you can see right through him He ain’t nothing but a hollow man Then came the day his cover was blown Their little Frankenstein monster got out of control So he looked to the ones who had saved him before Only to find that they’d changed all the locks on the doors The press circled in with blood in their eyes Each one wanting a piece of his shallow disguise And they cast him aside when from glory he fell Now he’s just another bum with a story to tell (Chorus) Hey, he’s less than zero The greater the height, the harder you land Ain’t it hard when you find your hero Ain’t nothing but a hollow man - Keef - Thursday, Jan 24, 08 @ 12:46 pm: I made an amendatory veto to a Tom Lehrer classic, “Lobachevsky”: “One man deserves the credit, one man deserves the blame, and Milorad (no middle name) Blagojevich is his name!” - Mufasa - Thursday, Jan 24, 08 @ 12:48 pm: How about “I just can’t wait to be king” from ‘The Lion king’?

The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools. Confusion will be my epitaph. As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back And laugh. But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying, Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying.” Crack and broken path sounds like our roads without a capital bill. - Downstate weed chewing hick - Thursday, Jan 24, 08 @ 2:31 pm: “The Flim-Flam Man” by The Mother Love Everybody’s talking about the Flim-Flam Man, how great it is to live without a worry in the world.

I think Madigan would be all over Civ IV, Emil seems like a Halo 3 guy, (”I’m a WARRIOR!!!) but Rod would play The Sims (Sim Government?) or Leisure Suit Larry.
