What do you take me for, a sissy?
What do you take me for, a cheat?
What do you take me for, an evangelist?
What do you take me for? Some poor lonesome fool?
What do you take me for, some kind of Uncle Moneybags?
What do you take me for, a complete sap?
What do you take me for, some sort of flake?

What kind of gun-toting desperado do you take me for?
What kind of imbecile do you take me for?
What kind of miscreant do you take me for?
What kind of snivelling little son-of-bricklayer do you take me for?

Why on earth wouldn't they send out a few radio signals to try and
contact other civilizations?
Why on earth wouldn't they if they did indeed speak English?
why on earth wouldn't they swear just as much in post-apolyptic world?
Why on earth wouldn't they Americanise it?

You've got some nerve to talk about someone having closed minds!
You've got some nerve speaking about "stepping over the line"
you've got some nerve associating our beloved SON with a serial killer
You've got some nerve standing up to Molly
You've got some nerve comparing me to some idiot
You've got some nerve to tell me whether my name is Yoruba or not
You've got some nerve calling anyone a moron
Man, you've got some nerve

You would have me believe that artistic talent is something we are
endowed with
you would have me believe that somebody would go back to a starship
You would have me believe that there is a town, London, in a land far
away called England
You would have me believe that kids are spanked in kingdom halls from
time to time
I probably deserve this kind of treatment, or so you would have me
believe

Any idiot knows that omnivores eat more than just steak and pork chops
Any idiot knows that the up/down direction is very different than the
other directions

any idiot knows that you cannot allow unrestricted access
any idiot knows wrestling is fake
Any idiot knows that there is no championship for Test cricket
Any idiot knows that popularity is the worst attribute to qualify
someone
Any idiot knows that carbon 14 is not used to date the Earth
Any IDIOT knows that a cheap quartz movement can keep better time than
Rolex's automatic movement
Any idiot knows that the Bible is not speaking of a man's beard in the
verse you deceitfully quote

Well, I wasn't born yesterday after all, Smith, so save your cheap
tricks
I wasn't born yesterday dude and I know how to play
I wasn't born yesterday and I can recognize a delayed reaction of
resentment
I wasn't born yesterday, you know. I can remember back a good 3 or 4
days
I wasn't born yesterday, as far as I can tell
Oh no, my friend, I wasn't born yesterday
I wasn't born yesterday, and I'm not unaware of Marx and Engels
i wasn't born yesterday and i have a sixth sense too
What do you think, Peter, I wasn't born yesterday?


As a Frenchman once pointed out
As a Brisbane nudist photographer friend pointed out
it should be pointed out
I merely pointed out
as you pointed out
I've pointed out
as has been pointed out to me constantly
Others have also pointed out
As several people have pointed out
It's been pointed out
it was just pointed out
I think it had to be pointed out
it has been so painstakingly pointed out
It was often pointed out
I should have pointed out
which you pointed out
As Fred has pointed out

It has become painfully obvious
Another courageous assault on the painfully obvious
Another thing that's painfully obvious

Just to be perfectly clear !!!
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR!!!
One thing is already perfectly clear!!!

So let me get this straight. Booker T and Golddust fued with them for 3

Of course, this is a situation between the devil and the deep blue sea
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
How far would the distance be between the devil and the deep blue sea?

Why do some things happen only once in a blue moon?
it's some need they have once in a blue moon
that hopefully only happens once in a blue moon
I do envision myself firing one up every once in a Blue moon
once in a blue moon they shock me
