You'd pay your dues, but you say it cheapens you. You don't have to work for peer review. Back in '94 this might have mattered more. Now we're second stage for the new gilded age. Let's make a scene. Let's keep it young and clean, packaged in polypropelene. Now these houses don't sing anymore, 'cause this is civil war. It's an inevitable defeat for the ruling elite. And I have no doubt you'll figure out what this song is about because you're more vain than you act. You did your time, but I did mine in 5/4 time. Now I'll enjoy my second prime.
