So if you're walkin' down the street sometime
And spot some hollow, ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care
Say, "Hello in there, hello"

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

Friends I will remember you, think of you
Pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends

Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end

Oh, he's dumb enough all right.
Nothing supercedes his massive ego and hurt butt when he doesn't get his way. Not logic, popular opinion, political risk nor global alliances.

Even the law takes second place to his malignant narcissism.
