Red Red River

amongst the large crowd he never felt so alone
conversations covering his face
and he cowers and falls
they surround him and the roar becomes louder
he could get smothered by this discourse
so he finds his feet and gets the fuck outta there
runs along the river
stops and views his reflection
it's not up to par
he slaps the water and watches the ripples fan out
like poverty it fans out
from the inner city it spreads and spreads
community members rush to the edges.
building private communities covered in barbed wire
but the hungry couldn't be stopped
they climbed the walls many died but the majority made it
and they tore apart the elite
and danced in the streets
firing ak's in the air
back to the river he feels like taking a dip
a toe in the water
they say just take the plunge
he's neck deep now
just like he's lost his footing
so down he goes
down he goes
in the blood red river.
people ask how could he kill himself
as if he actually killed himself
he didn't shoot himself in the head you see
the murderer in his mind pulled that trigger
a million fences
a million guns
couldn't keep that killer away

meanwhile a baby is born
screaming with the thirst for alchohol he was fed
they give him a sip of that vodka and he's off to bed
back to the party
they didn't even cut the cord
that's a bad hangover
he crawls over and cuts it with a crack rock
fast forward ten years
he's twelve going on fifty
slumped up against the wall
a family passes him by
children close your eyes
you don't want to see
the evil this world has to offer
hurry along kids
and they dont want to look
but they sure like to judge
yup they bang bang bang on the gavel
bang bang bang
the drums of death are near
