And who the fuck will change their production lines, packaging, palleting, taxation and financial arrangements to pander to a bunch of pricks?

And I can’t exactly see much in the way of an export market

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town
