lyrics

bastard weep
a towel thrown over their catch of the day
bags fill with blood
fall out the trunk as they motor away
call for help
services available for lighter than the sun
but you receive hell
if you let your kids use water guns

you won’t care
until you watch the body drop
if you were really pro-life
you’d stop supporting soldiers and cops

they go home
pulled pork on their plates tonight
40% will end the night giving black eyes
thin blue line
coated with red lying
faceless names
lying on their bedspread dying

and it matters less
“they’re just doing their best”
but maybe the best is worst
the only ones who have to get hurt
are the bastards in the room
it’s elephant season
