Lyrics
Privatized prisons, built with profiteer precision
I shed a tear incision, wet the paper algorithm
of contracts signed and driven by the war-machine’s rhythm
contracts signed and driven by the war-machine
Sheet meets salted scalpel, extract insurgence from the choke-hold
of lawful legal shrapnel wrapped round the wrists of cattle
our fallen pawns of battle and the serf who stole the apple
they were picking for the master and his heirs of alabaster
my rip is tearing faster through this space-time’s case and casters
breaking through the white-washed wall
a wrecking ball that crumbles plaster
the color of the page on which they stage our great disaster
color of the page
Shredded paperwork.
Double Windsor jerk
pulled to his knees and worse
by the scarcity that lurks
with safety's shadow casting protection from the class-fiends
and the gypsy fingers grasping for our passcode throats and laughing
Profiteer, I shed a tear
and tear my paper contract
like wet tissue. I take issue
and shred it upon contact.
Salt-trail incision. I'm bound for prison
for questioning the concept.
Quest for truth, I'm bound to you
by the capitalist context.
Contract.
