Hot Persuasion
You know you light my candle
You know you load my gun
Youre way too hot to handle
Theres nothing we aint done
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
I cant get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
Give it to me!
Mouth full of hot persuasion
You face me upside down
A love for all occasions
You wont catch me foolin aroung
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
I cant, cant get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
I need to know youre near me
I need you by my side
You keep my tank on empty
You keep me up all night
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
Oh, cant get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
Give me your hot persuasion
I cant get enough, get enough
Ive done hot persuasion

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.

The civilized society
I am in a civilized society.
No outlet for hatred.
So I watch violence in movies.
No outlet for libido
So I watch blue films.
I am in a civilized society.

Persuasion, indeed, is a kind of force. It consists in showing a person the consequences of his actions. It is, in a word, force applied through the mind.

The Power Of Persuasion
Cock a snoot,
Loop the loop,
Hock the hula-hoop,
But now it yo-yod back again
Shiver me timbers,
Just jumped ship with a little faith
We could win the championship
Parachute substitute, problem is its soooo cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket
They persuade you,
That they made you then betrayed you
And they blame you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
You bought the troll,
You bought the gonk,
You took it home, and put it on a pedestal
We needed a saviour,
But from its behaviour
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
Tax deductible. cash corruptible,
Never the less another poolswinner
Penniless dog tooth check,
Cash and carry find a girl,
Settle down and marry
They persuade you,
That they made you
The proclaim,
And theyll maim you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
I sold the eskimo snow
Build the skyline outta playdo
Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo
With the power of persuasion
