lyrics

praise dead gospel
i'm not so hostile as i used to be
i only hate the god you claim to be

one drenched arrow
wasted marrow dripping from the tip
chugging 40's that you tried to sip

why can't we admit we're wired to
submit our resignations to
attack the landlocked nations

i am my own doctor
despise the helicopter that spies from the sky
telling strangers that you want to

die from a self-inflicted knife wound
die in a cubicle adjacent to

what used to be a forest
now a well dressed tourist
contemplates his epitaph
imploring us not to
laugh at all his current indiscretions
while a busload full of hessians
ignites the desert air
protesting their careless existence
infantile resistance beats a foolish consistence

see what they mean
don't be what they dream
quit selling the suck off
and tell him to fuck off and

die like a million martyrs
die like a million martyrs before him
