Screaming is Free
Screaming is free you should try it some time
I've been a consultant since the long age of five
Schooled in Diogenes I'm not so artful to be a cynic

If you think your goanna make me your village idiot
Don't under estimate my ability to formulate a sentence
I've read Marlow and Webster, and a little Shakespeare
Comprehend the basics of science and deception
