    as soon as you've done your shitty little poem or song

    bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be.
    Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music,

    When I say, he say, she say, we say, make some noise - kill me.

    Ah, I forgot where I was, hang on

    Thou shalt not quote me happy.
    Thou shalt not shake it like a polaroid picture.
    Thou shalt not wish your girlfriend was a freak like me.
    Thou shalt spell the word "Pheonix" P-H-E-O-N-I-X
    not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.
    Thou shalt not express your shock at the fact that
    Sharon got off with Brad at a club last night by saying "Is it".
    Thou shalt think for yourselves.

    And thou shalt always...
    Thou shalt always kill! Writer/s: DANIEL STEPHENS, DAVID MEADS
