lyrics

Oh, June aids my sleep
Promises I must slave to uphold the keep
The water here has grown to seep
Don’t kick me where I breathe
Don’t kick me where I breathe

I don’t care you fucking fools
You’ll break my back to bend your rules
Let them drown in bloody pools
But miss me when I leave

The scavengers come near
And whisper in my ear
Persuasive enough to make it clear
That there’s nothing else to fear
Except the evil thoughts to steer
Oh, the scavengers
Oh, you scavengers

I believe
Racial trends I’ve known deceive
This congress that I so well weave
The wants before the needs

Take them now they’re going fast
While people shout they’re free at last
With little doubt outside they’re cast
And tallied on my sleeve
And tallied on my sleeve

Into Hades that smoldering heat
Where bones so white do pass and bleach
I will follow in their lead
And answer to this machine now.
But miss me when I leave
