Circle down this drain you found
Twice bombed dust, unholy ground
Line of loss there intersecting
Inhumanity reflecting
Hand a forgery concealing
Stripped to bone, reeking and reeling
Is this the need you bleed, your seed
Bloom in rot and interbreed
You’ll never learn until you burn
Captured, hooked, whipped and scourged
Lay your face down, feel the asphalt kiss
Thirsty mouth tastes master’s piss
Sleep deprived and leather eyed
Make the skin fall to one side
Or the other of the scalpel cold
Reconstruct you in vitro
You’ll never learn until you burn
Captured, hooked, whipped and scourged
Lay your face down feel the asphalt kiss
Thirsty mouth tastes master’s piss
Come up for air, choke on the fist
Teach you that you don’t exist
You howl and flail, there’s no need to surveille
You have never been easier to control
Lay your face down, feel the asphalt kiss
Thirsty mouth tastes master’s piss
Come up for air, choke on the fist
Teach you that you don’t exist
