RANTING ON THE PILE


WHEN EVERY LAST VOTE COUNTS FAILURE TO SLIDE MOUNTS YOUR PLATFORM IS GRUBBY YOUR HAND SEEN DRIPPIN WITH BLOOD

BLAME IT ON A SHARP SHARK CORRIDORS ARE SO DARK MAYBE YOU’RE BLEEDING OR MAYBE YOU’RE CLAIMING ITS MUD

STRIPPING DOWN A BLOWN FACE FAFFING ROUND IN MY SPACE EVENLY BITCHY A CHAV IS TRYING TO FORCE ME TO CARE

WHATEVER WAY IT SMELLS SHRINKS OR SWELLS TAKE IT ALL AWAY BEFORE IT SHOWS
NO BODY WANTS TO KNOW

SKINNY IN THE FAT CLUB SHINY ON A MATT RUB THE JOKER IN PLACE SPITS ON A COIN AND THEN DEALS

COUGHING IN A HACKS THROAT SINGING FOR THE BLACKS VOTE THE KIDS AND THE OLD ONES PROMISES THREATS AND APPEALS

SEEN STARING IN A BALD EYE WATCHING AS IT FLIES BY WINKING
HARD WIRED INTO YOUR BRAIN

I DO NOT NEED TO JOIN STAND IN LINE WHISTLE FART SING OR KISS YOUR ARSE
YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO LAST

AND ANYWAY WHAT DID YOU SAY WHEN THEY ASKED YOU WHY
YOU TURNED AWAY WITH NOTHING TO CONFIRM OR DARE DENY

WITH SOLO AND A RAG BAG FEATURED IN A SHAG MAG. COMIN’ TO TELL YER SOMEBODY RATTED OFFERED YOUR NAME

SEEN MARCHING WITH THE PEACE BAND PISSING WITH THE OTHER HAND CORRECTIVE SELECTION PILLORIED PUSSIED AND FRAMED

BUT AH WHAT THE HELL WHO’S RINGING THIS BELL YOU BROUGHT ALL THE VILLAINS GOOSE STEPPING BACK INTO FLAMES

INTO THESE BONY WORDS BODIES BREAK PYRITES SEALED IN PLASTIC BAGS YOUR FAME
BUT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW OUR NAMES

AND SO IT SEEMS THERE ARE NO WORDS OF COMFORT FROM OUR DREAMS
TRUTH DENIED FADING IN OUR SLEEP AND IN YOUR SCHEMES
