us get it was going straight you are on the rise you know with the rise that is low then they were either i kept away from them and what that one's hand when that will arrest made and one of the law allows that has those lay on three are out like this and what then the bus leaves as it would go away from is so late when we were where we will stay alive
as an hour we can solve all we want to win here but when i get on a bus the ice and you don't know maybe it's because i don't want to be identified with them we're well ireland where no votes are going to be more dangerous than them erratic because they don't want that would say so a lot of things that have gone well you know black or white or tarver i'm saying for tower you'd be are certain places like you know we're up so it was and so it was more in the us and then there's no funds are free or run all year alone root root root for the
rebels and grateful so you're going through yeah we're worried what worries that eyes that word there's supposed to be an undue burden they are it's for all of the gold that's arisen that seven of that was not on a bad seed but maybe tomorrow from the backseat of the above when you think about the
right means they were going down into the endless out they're going to go in the south with no with no protection no no cause there's no work do you know what a great thing well i'll one of ours grayson rico's not beethoven and violent course <unk> cosby fall about climate change you'll be non violent when it ended they didn't that time will slow for the i am i may not come back and they use furloughs
