What if this is as good as it gets?
I was there to push people beyond what’s expected of them. I believe that’s an absolute necessity.
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife.

Don’t worry, I’m only burning my half.
It’s a fire, mister, and all fires are bad.
Did it look at you? Did the fire look at you? It did. Whoa.
Hey, look me over, lend me an ear,
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here.
I have a wife, a child, and a mortgage … and I’m scared to death I’m turning into my father.
