Today I walked
20 miles with junkies
life in the fast lane was going rather slowly
I daresay we were walking backwards
spiritual devolution
Blood slowly seeping into malignant receptacles
consuming like wildfire future hopes and dreams
Here's a blast from the past baby
remember when you were a child
what you wanted to be
policeman fireman performing civic duty
now it is you doing the everyday looting
all to fulfill the need
but who can blame you it is all corrupt malignant
rape the land rape your body
force that needle in
when's it going to end?
When is it going to end
