Obey

The_pastry_poet 1987 (Harlow)

Cash, change, counting up
Never thinking of others
Counting cars, scars always in trouble
We walked up hills
Pulling buckets, making builds
Green smoke, flushing pills
Running, always running from the janitor
Twos, threes, LDees for the taking
In all weathers knees still shaking
After long tiresome walks I’m wiser
Be careful what you take
I’m not joking
