Podcasters will control you
One-hundred percent supplements

Masked goons rent vans to drive
It's the neck gaiter secret police
They have come to ruin the peace
Come quietly to the car
You'll look nice behind our bars
Don't resist our display of power
This should only take an hour
Bam! Throwing tear gas at the mob
We're just here to do our job
We'll deport you little chumps
When you mess with President Trump
When you mess with President Trump

I really enjoyed that experience. Thank you so much for making that.
It sounded like hundreds and hundreds of hours of work, all at a high level.
The voices fit the characters perfectly. I love your writing. Love it.
