letra de and suddenly... a riot - mattydale music collective

we had a mundane conversation about the weather
he made inane comments about the women p-ssing by
i’ve had 17 cigarettes since we’ve been together
that’s at least 3 more than the last 6 days combined
i felt warmth drip down my throat and into my stomach
from a bottle hidden inside a paper bag
he laughed and sang as he fed the pigeons
i smiled, jealous of all the fun that we’d had
yeah

up a flight of stairs, into a back room bar speakeasy
where the marxist book club was known to hang around
they’ve got vodka on their breath and they talk of a revolution
upset at all the bullsh-t that has gone down
there’s a march today to support the surviving family
of a young man beat to death by the boys in blue
they say this country’s foundation is freedom
yet at every turn they try to incarcerate you
yeah

as the crowd grows violent, and the riots begin
i see a man on the street corner who is peeling off his skin
and injecting novocaine into the folds of his open heart
he says, ‘the teeth of society are as long as they are sharp
yeah

there’s poison in the air
there’s poison in my mouth
there are poison ingredients in our food that i can’t pr-nounce
sit in lotus position, block distraction and desire
make some mental incisions and set malignant thought on fire
yeah / yeah
