All this damned and wretched shit...

 All this damned and wretched shit

In these childhood joys so hollow

Children play but do not follow 
They raise the rules of fear and dread 
And craft their games of hate instead


Upon these broken streets below 

A deathly chill begins to grow 

Half-words that gleam or words that lie 

Copy the poverty nearby 

They yawn in boredom or they sigh


In this atmosphere of thought 

Morality is cheaply bought 

It opens wide for profit's gain 

And for the bullet's certain pain 

In fields of lawless legal ground 

A rage like a loose balloon is found 

They put it in the killer's sight 

Who works for money in the night 

All this damned and wretched shit 

Must burn from end to end of it 

So that the stench and memory 

Will fade for all eternity


And for the things that time will mend 

No paper should their stories end 

No schools are needed to be told 

To break the grip of lies so old 

 

 

In fields of lawless legal ground 

 

A rage like a loose balloon is found

 

They put it in the killer's sight 

 

Who works for money in the night

 

All this damned and wretched shit 

 

Must burn from end to end of it 

 

So that the stench and memory 

 

Will fade for all eternity
