Chance/Dance of Discourse

DRAIN-KNOW

“niggers and the whities
blacks and the crackers
police and their backers
they’re all political actors”
-Curtis Mayfield

fuck the fascist state
and all who participate
we all leave by death’s gate
sooner or later
we all transform to grasp another fate

tired of being nice
my Soul on melting ice
the fascist/capitalist class wrecks the country
blames it on the poor
as neo-con-artist barbarians
are dragging us back into the Cold War
and you, the privileged asses
let them take you for all they can take you for
planet-whores

the swine
with bling/pearls
who bleed
the world
killed the electric car
and selfishly claim
distant stars
are all demon/idiots
by far
(hardy ha ha ha)

i work this shit
every day
go home and sleep
with little play
and little pay
and sometimes
in this great rush
it all demands
an even greater flush

“and you cry to the God
who leaves you there
to the branch and the bird
and the empty air”
-Rickie Lee Jones
