“Say It” 2010

Frivolous fun
I get accused of being too serious. They tell me that I think too much before I speak. Well, they can eat this one.
“Say It”

There’s a worldwide running narrative of the people against their leaders, some of whom are obeying the real elite, the wealthiest international individuals who can’t be held accountable by any system that they […]
