I live in a hole like a rat in a cage

A dying world of hate and famine

Contagious diseases plague the Earth

The blackened Earth beneath the blackened Sun

Broken glass rains like bullets from dark clouds of AK47s

Look in the mirror and see your reflection

But there is nothing beyond the wall

Behind tentacles weave and writhe

Seeking helpless victims

Leaving with a wake with Terror

Earthquakes and Firestorms lash out

At helpless buildings one by one

Whole cities topple and fall

Empires overthrown

Slaves are bound in chains

Let's go hijack a bus and drive off to another world

Where nothing is real and all the clouds hang like

Evening fog in Hell

Come on, let's go rob a bank

And drive right through the liquor store

Take all the booze and hold it for ransom

While hostages lie quivering on the floor

I wish I was a politician or a lawyer

So I could twist my words to mean something else

I wish I was a rat so I could creep inside your bedroom

Lick grease off your face

Shit and piss all over

Fecal matter for you to taste

I wish that I was a bird of prey

The sinister icon of destruction

Hunting and searching and swooping down on the rat

Who flees from the cat

But once again I digress

I have strayed too far

And I think that I can't look back

For fear of sight

Of the ever shrinking specs of daylight

Most people are stupid

It's just the way it is

Tranquility breeds ignorance

Thoughtlessness and careless ways

Bleach out opposition, let it leave a darkened stain

The rain falls down from the sky

Soaks into the ground

Buy a sandwich

 from the deli down the street

 from the homeless shelter funded by corporate businessmen

 who drive around in their shiny cars and wear three-piece suits

 made in third world countries for meager wages.

 Stand in line all day long

 and wait for a loaf of bread that never comes.

 Go to work with your stale twinkie and bruised crabapples

 in a brown paper bag.

 Wade through the mud and garbage

 carrying form panels over all around the world and drive up oil prices

 for sniveling Americans to pay four dollars

 for a gallon of gas to commute to work in a factory

 where they act like they really know how to build an airplane,

 and commute back to the suburbs in ta treacherous landscape

 of concrete footings and pilecaps with rebar fingers

 and play with finger sized skateboards

 in their twelve year old sisters' dollhouse

 while she is in the backyard

 showing off her new panties that she got at Wal-mart

 to the lawn maintenance boys,

they gawk as the greasy foreman urinates in the flowerbed.

 Two thousand dollars of Christmas lights and yard ornaments

 decorate the home all year long.

The gas station attendant was shot dead in the lavatory.

The Spanish cleaning lady cleans the blood off the walls,

 and puts five dollars of gas in her 1976 Pacer

 with the goldfish window.

Pendulum swing there, Effervescent Succulence

Irresistible, hours of deception, Lie and wait

Scapegoat from the end of time

Saddest story ever told

Royal Joker without a line

For when it's time, time will tell

To be cast down, cast out, cast away

We live to lie, we live to dream

Scream and cry

Twist and shake and go and stop

And here and there, and where you don't like

Pendulum swing there, Effervescent Succulence

Irresistible, hours of deception, HOURS of deception,

WE Lie and wait

Scapegoat from the end of time

Saddest story ever told

Royal Joker without a line

For when it's time, time will tell

To be cast out, cast down, cast away

Sailing on a sea of fate

Pendulum swing there, Effervescent Succulence

Irresistible, hours of deception, WE Lie and wait

Horn of goat, spurn of hate

Bloody stump, tourniquet

Live the dream, dream away, tie the knot

But you won't die, it's OK to scream and cry

We won't care

Because of this, which is not what you want

Not for something but for nothing returned

Return from nowhere

The LUMINESCENT---DEVIL

Silver toned, intertwined, pink and yellow

Porous and charred-------nothing

Structured unity, Solidarity,

Organization, Contemplation

Simple stupid complexity

Devoid of life, relieved of strength

No thought remains

All that shall remain

Scream and cry, We don't care

Because of this, which is not what is

Not something, but Nothingness

Structured unity, Solidarity,

Organization, Contemplation

Simple stupid complexity

Social Society, the plague of modern man

People talk and talk and talk

And never seem to make any sense

The modern world, full of machines

The stupid people can't even think for themselves

Look through the broken window

I went to the store

But I forgot what I was looking for

I went to the bar

But I didn't get very far

Daggers fly out from the walls

Two fish swam upstream

Looking for a lake to overrun

Perriwinkles crush between my toes

Sounds like battleships floating in harbors

Being driven by wild torrents of rain

Sleep in the hollows

Carved by the vermin that perpetuate, sustained

Miserable existence

For weakened people trapped in a cage

Condemned to turn the wheels

They only wish to be happy

Look through the broken window

Picture of humanity, misery, wrapped in a blanket of fear

Disaster waiting to happen

It's all too much for me to understand or comprehend

Still, it weighs upon my brain

To what end do we strive for?

Are we their pawns in a game?

Do we remain silent and numb?

A number on the wall

Or should we stand up and let our voice be heard?

Are we stupid cows who graze in a field?

Only to have our children taken away

Left to our own devices

We might just wither away and die

Social Society, the plague of modern man

People talk and talk and talk

And never seem to make any sense

The modern world, full of machines

The stupid people can't even think for themselves

Look through the broken window

Picture of humanity and misery

Wrapped in a blanket of fear

Disaster just waiting to happen

Something or anything within this world

But nothing seems to last for more

Our lives are but bleeding glimpses

From the timeline of life

We as mere mortals cannot comprehend

What is above or what is below

How does the world turn?

Every stupid pawn from a larger game

That we can't even see

There comes a point in time

Where something has to be done

One way or the other

Social Society, the plague of modern man

People talk and talk and talk

And never seem to make any sense

The modern world, full of machines

The stupid people can't even think for themselves

We are led to believe that we have some,

Some sort of freedom

Rights to make the decisions that we think are real

But it's all just a stupid lie

To oppress all the people

To make their minds like robot slaves

Once upon a time I had a taste for alcohol

Then I gained a taste for pharmaceuticals

The methadone I took was supposed to be clinical

It just made me sick of consuming chemicals

When I was a kid I used to fiend for Kool Aid

It revved me up hard for the school games that I played

High school hit and I was expelled for my bad grades

And the fact that I skipped class to go make a drug trade

Psychiatric meds set my path for diabetes

I gained more weight than from marijuana munchies

Pissing through a tube gave me eebie jeebies

Urinary interference with alot of bleeding

The speed that I took was made by anarchists

The weed that I smoked was grown by activists

The pills that I took came from the local pharmacist

The acid that I dropped was made by a college chemist

It melts in your pipe but not in your hands

A twenty dollar hit will make you understand

The chemical scent pours out of the glands

A jib jab and the brain shrinks to a grain of sand

I want the seratonin without the side effects

Don't need the depression or the need to self neglect

I need my brain to work so I can feed my intellect
