I don’t wanna kiss you, I don’t wanna touch
I don’t wanna see you 'cause I don’t miss you that much
Elvis costello…‘No Action’
Twenty, twenty, twenty fours hours to go
I wanna be sedated.
The Ramones…‘I wanna be sedated’

And the DA can’t get no relief.
Gonna be a rumble out on the Promenade
And the Gambling Commission’s holding by the skin of its teeth.”

“My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state.
I’m a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8.
I always done an honest job as honest as I could.
