Starving Masses

Words of a guy that's had it up to here with "The System" and can't quite understand why they want us to be blind...

DASHKA. We fell in love when we were drunk, She's dead now but I love her just the same.

Drumsticks the parallels to future rhythm feelings

tin garbage cans mirages for metaphors like the "gutter brain"

sit and wait tired so hate it lick a fentanyl patch and get elated

for a while...

brown syringes shoot the multitudes to death

ultimate the force of metal stamping metal car parts, wrecked!

EUREKA! hanging in the ether, suspended from school

Rules to follow break a stool suck the hollow from the fools

picnics dandy white and pink with begonias smeared cement

love it leave it give receive it pluck the cherry from the girl

snuck into abandoned buildings like the only refuge clear

what a hassle drain the vessels fill em up and rearrange

thoughts of grandeur for illusions bout the way we keep em sane

big Pharm no farms lack compassion press a button for reactions

aggravated lessons from a spit mouth teaching class

whats the worry sir its college, are you here to make me drool?

look at this and that the passion single mother's child support

female trannies look for answers mixing colors on the floor

what's the difference get a pallet mix the paint and paint the phallus

fallacy is no more wrong than not pointing to the answer

Figures drawn like figures speaking empty head the hair is gone

Still the frame and capture mammals put the cage now come and see

Don’t you want to be like me?
