lyrics

Who's gonna sneak into the S.F. public water supply system tonight?
Who's gonna spin the tap and give it all back to those that jammed us all up
for public urination, self-medicated sedation, and the Stations of the Cross
we have all lost at one time or another?
Who's gonna dump in hallucinogens that'll make em unzip their skin and repent
for all their sins, schemes, and conspiracies?
Who's gonna hijack an empty jet plane strapped with OJ n gasoline
leaves n aces up their sleeves, bunny rabbits from magic hats
and C-4?
Who's gonna bust open the emergency door
and watch all the concentrated ugliness of humans get sucked out
in the air pressure differential?

Below,
There are bodies sequentially piling like sandbags in mounds
in places we don't seem to give a fuck about to even pronounce properly
I've never seen limp fingers withering like burnt tree limbs
I've never seen crimson constellations on the ceilings of abandoned school buildings
I've never seen vultures circling like hallowed, feathered halos above the sulfurous scent of barbwire-souled angels

Rittled with riddles of U.S. shrapnel
And they just keep poking more holes in the people, in the wells,
in the soil of overcrowding cemeteries
