Morbid masturbation
led to the decapitation
of a high school girl
who's only crime was
she was born into an ugly world
where women are tempted by snakes
and snakes grow out of man
see it uncoiled swollen
poison in his hand
This decapitation
led to the incarceration
of the angry man
who's only crime was
he was born into an ugly world
where men are tempted by fruit
and fruit grows out of girls
see it poison and ripe
underneath her curls
He was the child that you ignored
he was brought up on TV
mentally molested
by the morals of TV
for if it's criminals you show
then it's criminals you'll breed
Right before they pull the trigger
they are thinking
"Maybe they'll write a book about me
Maybe they'll check my family tree
Maybe they'll take a picture of me
Maybe they'll put me on TV"
The saying used t go
"Let's dispose of the criminals"
Now the saying goes
"Let's expose the criminal and his mind"
But we've seen this all before
at least one hundred times
and while you're beating the dead horse
we've redefined the crime
We see it televised, commercialized
glorified and to the point
that the criminals you put on the TV
are the criminals that you breed
He was the child that you ignored
he was brought up on TV
mentally molested
by the morals of TV
for if it's criminals you show
then it's criminals you'll breed
Right before they pull the trigger
they are thinking
"Maybe they'll write a book about me
Maybe they'll check my family tree
Maybe they'll take a picture of me
Maybe they'll put me on TV"
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
