That's feels exciting.

Brand new?

Brand new song.

Can I get some of that up here? That's fine.

Yeah, it's a new song.

It's going to go on the radio soon, hopefully, like in a couple of weeks.

He says that your soul is sponge, but you could still wake up.

And the capitalist says he's born to be free.

He says, "You're poor, my friends, but you don't have to be." Here's what we know.

We don't know what we've got or if we got it.

No, Dan, I would never do that.
