Well we know where we’re going
But we don’t know where we’ve been
And we know what we’re knowing
But we can’t say what we’ve seen
And we’re not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

His little bit about his “trash can van” is so obnoxious. He’s making fun of slumming it, which so many people have to do. He’s been rich his entire life. Never been a point since he’s been an adult that he couldn’t afford a luxury car. But HAHAHAHAHA trash can van! Just like the poors!
When you’re a poor kid from the small town, you don’t have to go anywhere. Just cruise up and down the strip! It’s so nice to know that the gov. and all us small people are really so alike deep down.
Out to bust a mystery. It wasn’t a monster that’s been scaring off Illinois businesses, it was that Old Man Madigan in a monster suit trying to keep businesses at bay so he could profit with his law practice!
