I need some help

Finding the straps

won\'t do
            C    
Well, did a man-made 
famine and shut

the factory down

I know it’s bad in
Bangladesh but

I\'m ditching the

I need heavy

I need shit with 
handles

Give a hoot

They on the front

getting grue

the advice is 
evil

I\'ve just had a 
long day

Lookin’ for the

the straps
