the motor buzzes in the basement
|
behind a curtain
|
behind a wall
|
upstairs the crowds have all gathered to see
|
how they can make money off tragedy
|
police police me
|
it's so easy
|
heads hover above podiums and,
|
nobody understands that they don't stand a chance
|
the glow of this show is alarmingly charming
|
the stars are all smiling
|
it's disarming
|
police police me
|
and all the while
|
we're waiting
|
for something like a sign
|
from the hole of lost control
|
from our overmade minds
|
come on go
|
goodnight bloodsuckers
|
sleep tight in your traps
|
the cheapest trash gets bought so fast
|
the cops and the criminals
|
the safe and the stray
|
they all mix in the ditches anyway
|
police police me
|
