Cynical about human

Cynical about human Cynical about human Water tides and a win Wash in the jungle white spin Swing, cling Stride not the man walking away with a leash Alex, my colleague, he is a man Lent me twenty dollars in a corporate lunch I paid him back when I got my paycheck He reminds me a man borrowed twenty...
