Right hand raised. The left plants stickers - picking out the deviant. A
|
choice of colours, inclinations, factions that see only red. He wants them
|
dead. He kills them in his mirror when it's dark... And when he thinks that
|
no-one is looking he spreads the spraypaint and leaves his mark. Swastikas
|
shout out from walls, they're tattooed on a million fists. Clenched
|
together, safe in numbers... waving from the precipice. Fodder! Plod on
|
down your icy path... A cannon is waiting for the fodder. Enlightenment
|
comes with a blast. A bang. A bangabangabang...
|
|
Another place. A different story. Fingers play with stale cigars. Business
|
creeks, the warehouse leaks, the chairman sold his daughter's car. He's
|
reading charts and sharpening knives for cutting when the time seems right -
|
for him alone. No pause for mercy if the victim's out of sight.
|
|
Equality is a word for cranks to shout out as the batons swing. It's
|
beautiful in theory... he knows it's not for him. He's got his fodder!
|
|
In higher places, clocks chime for the meeting of the lords. They stay
|
discreet as guilty secrets cause no shame behind closed doors. A portion for
|
the megabomb. A portion for the queen... can't forget the army or the law
|
'cos they have to keep the cities clean. And sure they know they'll get
|
their way as protests echo from the streets. (The blood is thicker from the
|
streets) His hired guns and sheets of armor gives them shelter through the
|
heat! The fodder...
|
|
But there are other bullets, other walls, where justice cries in shiny red.
|
Where reason dies and passion burns persuasion's just a hole in the head.
|
Purges after midnight... There's no discretion in the mass. A volley. A
|
silence as they cover up the mess.
|
|
Don't kid yourself. You're civilized - it could happen anywhere.
|
In choking cities, steaming jungles... maybe even here.
