Proverbs of Smog

Chapter Twenty-One

1. Strength is no substitute for a battered suitcase of rock & roll damage. Or maybe it's the other way around. I can't remember.

2. There is more rejoicing in the songwriting world over one bad lyric that finds repentance, than over a million great lyrics that need no repentance.

3. Drugs are the substitute teacher you assign to your own classroom to hold yourself back another year.

4. Anything can be a drug. Especially drugs.

Proverbios de Smog

Capítulo Veintiuno

1. La fuerza no sustituye una maleta maltrecha llena de los estragos del rock & roll. O tal vez sea al revés. No lo recuerdo.

2. En el mundo de la composición, se celebra más una mala letra que lleva al arrepentimiento que un millón de letras geniales que no lo necesitan.

3. Las drogas son el profesor sustituto que pones en tu propia clase para retenerte un año más.

4. Cualquier cosa puede ser una droga. Sobre todo las drogas.
