Huh, Modest Mouse has a line like that in one of their songs. Whatever, still a funny line.

I'm one card short of a full deck
I'm not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I'm not my usual top billing
I'm coming down with a fever
I'm really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree

Glistening white, triangular tooth
open a can of tomato juice.
I've got a fang.

A silence that speaks so much louder than words of promises broken.

I've waited too long to have you
Hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long I wonder
How you keep track of me

You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many roads must a man walk down, before his journey is complete, given that he wants to walk 27 miles, and each road that he walks is 4000 feet.
Please round your answer to the nearest tenth, and show all your work on a separate sheet.
The answer my friend, is 17.4. The answer is 17.4 roads.

The answer should be 35.6 roads.  I guess you can't expect singers to do math.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Either that or I quoted wrong. I'll have to hear the song again to see if they have it right or not.

When you were young and your heart was an open book,
You used to say live and let live.
But if this everchanging world in which we live in
Makes you give it a cry...
Say live and let die.

Yes, they say "in" both times in that sentence. I'm sorry.
