Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller. And for all of these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground. ↗
this song is for the guy who keeps yelling from the balcony, and it's called 'we hate you, please die. ↗
