On the back of a pack of matches, I wrote a letter today.
|
With a bottle of kerosene, I toast to the bourgeoisie.
|
Tonight, they say everything's gonna be okay.
|
Tonight, they say, everything's gonna be alright... yeah right.
|
Not-so-silent weapons for not-so-quiet wars.
|
Still feels like I'm on trial.
|
Still got my name on file.
|
I carve notes like votes on a cinderblock.
|
Matchbook poets, you know we leave paper trails like coffin nails.
|
On the back of a pack of matches, I wrote a letter today.
|
On the back of a pack of matches, I wrote my eulogy.
