Don't learn to be a chronic scofer criticize

Don't lie the way with their line of thought,
Because ideas above and cannot be bought
If you think you positive what is best
It's best to be diplomatic at any request
Because when scott in our peculiar way
Look out for every dog has his day
No one can tell what someone really can do,
Until they have to prove it's true
That all talk about this that is not so
Because they don't believe that is the way should CO.
Now, when you do the same thing heard,
Then you'll be kind of a bird
That has the right to soar on high
