OK I’ve had it. Would anyone who is in love with their guns please unfriend me. I just don’t want to hear from you.
Another mass shooting in the States. 4 dead. And they still talk about guns being not part of the problem. Sorry guys down south, as a Canadian, Guns ARE the problem.
Once was enough
Considering
I never did it again
If only I could remember
What it was I did
To not do again!

The girls of Gladstone
Never give their wares away
The girls of Gladstone
Walk the streets both night and day
The girls of Gladstone
Read you like an open book
The girls of Gladstone
Are quick to catch a knowing look
The girls of Gladstone
Are beautiful and always fair
The girls of Gladstone
Have money braided in their hair
The girls of Gladstone
Grant the deepest lost desires
The girls of Gladstone
Caress you like an open fire
Every now and then they say they care
Every now and then you try to believe them
Every now and then they really do
But they leave you in some alley at the foot of no return
The girls of Gladstone
Open up their wounds to you
The girls of Gladstone
Know the pain that love accrues
The girls of Gladstone
Willingly compute the cost
The girls of Gladstone
Know what they have won or lost
The girls of Gladstone
Step upon the stones of time
The girls of Gladstone
Know the truth is only lies
The girls of Gladstone
Ratify each deal you make
The girls of Gladstone
Steal and then return your faith
Every now and then they say they care
Every now and then you try to believe them
Every now and then they really do
But they leave you in some alley at the foot of no return
