lyrics

"to him no temple stood or altar smoked; yet who more oft than he in temples and at altars when the priest turns atheist... In courts and palaces he also reigns and in luxurious cities, where the noise of riot ascends above he loftiest tow'rs; and injury and outrage. And when night darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons of belial, flown with insolence and wine"-Milton

unconscious of echoing tragedy we line up to join the parade / but our elbows are stuck in the mud again and our houses have all flown away / there's a song that we've thrown from corpse to corpse / in the fleshes that we carry with us / it's written in caches of serpentine in tunnels and grey pigeons nests / who do you turn to? / treads of the tank searchlight the street scratched of the lists ash and the heat / throwing the kitchen knives off of the roof / but when they look up to the house-tops there's no one to shoot / but we broke through the curfew and into the street / if we let them take anything they'll take everything / they laughed when my aunt won the lottery / they laughed when the cattle cars came /they shot me for stealing a crust of bread but they gave me a loaf when I begged
