    The frustration i feel in regards to this song’s absence on Spotify can not be expressed in words because I’m unsure how to translate into text a primal scream of pain, anguish and irritated anger.

    Jr high & high school in the 70's i was very small before i grew , and a few guys would seek me out and hit me as hard as they possibly could in the hallway
    I remember seeing how a couple of them just built up their anger and strength as much as they possibly could to hit me usually on my shoulder, sometimes over and over-
    They were demonic
    Great song
