Analysis of Personal
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
It’s beginning to hit to close to home
I must get out and stay off the phone
Its going to get personal this time around
I’m preparing my tools and I’m going to town
There won’t be much left
When I get done with this city
I’ll show them no kindness
I’ll show them no pity
