OLD MAN

YOUTH
LIVING IN THE STATE
OF I WANT IT ALL
MOLD CUT BY
THE RAZOR’S EDGE
SPIIRIT AND BODY SLIM
EYES BRIGHT FLOODED
BY THE LUST OF ADVENTURE
TASTING THE PLEASURE OF SIN
TEARS LAUGHTER
FEARS RAPTURE
NO POSSIBLIITY
NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE
EVERYTHING VENTURED
EVERYTHING GAINED
LIVE FOREVER
DIE YOUNG

AGE
PLACE WHERE DREAMS DIE
IN THE SHALLOW STATE
OF GOT IT ALL
EUTHANISED
ANAETHSTHETISED
PUT TO SLEEP
YOUTH FORGOTTEN
ONLY ROMANTISIZED
FAR AWAY EMBERS
SMOTHERED BY THE
SHADOW OF THE MAN
PREACHING DIME STORE WISDOM
THAT COMES FROM THE RAGE OF AGE
A SELF BUILT CAGE
FULL OF FALSE INNUENDO
THE BEEN THERE DONE THAT’S
THE FIVE STAR TOURIST TRAPS
THE SHALLOW WORLDLINESS
THE LIES AND DECEPTION
OF A PAST REBUILT
AS GLORIOUS



MIRROR
THE ENEMY OF AGE
YOU’VE LIED
YOUR FACE THE PAGE
READ IT IF YOU CAN
REFUSE
AND I WILL HELP YOU
YOU’RE ONLY HALF THE MAN
OF HALF THE MAN
YOU USED TO BE
SO LIE TO YOURSELF
DON’T LIE TO ME

I AM THE WONDERING CHILD
CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF AGE
YOU ARE BENT OVER
CARRYING NOTHING
FOUND GUILTY
OF KILLING LOVE
KILLING DREAMS
THE SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENCE
WRITE IT OFF TO EXPERIENCE YOU SAY
ANOTHER LAME CLICHÉ

GOTTA GO NOW
THERE’S MORE ON THIS BEATEN PATH
CAN’T LISTEN TO MORE
OF YOUR STONE COLD WISDOM
CHISELED BY FEAR AND REGRET
CONSOLATION?
MAYBE THERE IS A GOD
MAYBE HE LOVES YOU AND I
SO LONG OLD MAN
SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

club neon

THERE’S A NEON CLUB
AROUND THE CORNER
SOMETIMES I’LL WANDER IN
CHOKING ON FRENCH PERFUME
AND BLACK LEATHER
HEARING LAST CALL
VOICES BETRAY DESPERATION
FOR SOME LATE NIGHT SKIN
MAKEUP MASKS CRACK
THICK WITH CHEAP INNUENDO
TEQUILA PROMISES BURNED
BEYOND RECOGNITION
DRUNK STUMPED HEADS
SUCKERED BY LIES
MINDLESS WORDS OOZING THICK
THROUGH LIPSTICK SMILES
IT’S THE TOWER OF BABEL
SO JUST BABBLE ON
MUSIC HIDES AT A SAFE DISTANCE
NO MATCH FOR LINES AND COME ONS
GREEDY FOR CENTER STAGE
HACK ACTORS TALKING SHIT
SILENT WITNESS TO SOCIAL CRIME
I STAND ALOOF WATCHING
TO THEM I’M A LEPER
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AND YOU’LL BE FINE
BARTENDER’S HOLDING COURT
A POOR MAN’S TOM CRUISE
I THINK HIS NAME REALLY IS TOM
ORDERING A DRINK
HE THINKS MY NAME IS BUD
GIRL’S NIGHT OUT IN THE CORNER
SOME OFFICE DICKS WANNA SQUEEZE IN
PUKING UP CLICHES AND COMPLIMENTS
GIDGET VANITY ACHING FOR ATTENTION
FROM ANY JOHN AROUND
SWALLOWING REASSURANCE
THAT THEY ALL STILL GOT IT
GOT WHAT? GET IT? FORGET IT!
WACK BACK MY DRINK.
WHAT DO I THINK
THEY DON’T WANT ANY PART OF ME
SO I’LL HAVE ANOTHER
BARTENDER STILL PLAYING TOM SLICK
GUESS I’M STILL PLAYING BUD
SLOW HIP HOP
HIP HOPS THROUGH THE ROOM
LAST CHANCE LAST DITCH LOSERS
CLUTCH AND GROPE ON THE TRANCE FLOOR


STARTING TO FEEL INVISIBLE NOW
ONLY COCKTAIL TOM SEES ME
LOOKING WORRIED ABOUT HIS BUD
SO BUD ORDERS ANOTHER
THIS ONE’S ON HIM HE WAVES
HE’S MISSING A FINGER
WONDER WHAT I’M MISSING
WONDER IF HE NOTICES
THAT I WONDER WHERE HIS FINGER WENT
HIP HOP FADES
LEAVING LOSERS
FANNING OUT INTO CORNERS
PATHETIC PARADE
REMIND MYSELF HOW MUCH I HATE
CIRCUSES, CHARADES & PARADES
MUSIC DROPS THROUGH A TRAP DOOR
VOICES LEFT HANGING
NAKED DANGLING
THE SENTENCE SERVED
MY MIND’S MADE UP
RATHER BE INVISIBLE
THAN VISIBLY IGNORED
AND BEING A LEPER
NOT ALL THAT BAD
TOM KNOWS
WINKS IN MY DIRECTION
GIVES ME THE THUMBS UP
LESS ONE FINGER
SHOW HIM MINE
FOR ONE MORE
I SHOOT IT BACK
INHALING LIQUID FIRE
FRENCH PERFUME
BLACK LEATHER DESIRE

I’M STILL INVISIBLE
TOM CRUISE IS FINGERLESS
I’M A LEPER NAMED BUD
WITH NO MORE TIME TO LINGER
VISIBLY IGNORED
INVISIBLY GLIDING
ACROSS THE TRANCE FLOOR
GROOVING TO LEPER MUSIC
BUST A FEW LEPER MOVES
AND I’M OUT THE NEON DOOR

LANDING ON THAT CARRIER
BUSH STRUCK A HEROIC STANCE
THAT FUCKER THINKS

A NASTY PIECE OF WORK
LYING THROUGH EVERY PORE
ANOTHER FUCKING JERK
LET’S NOT FORGET OLD ASHCROFT
NOW GONE BUT HE SURE CAN SING
COULD LIE WITH THE BEST OF THEM
SECURITY WAS HIS THING
SAID WE’RE MUCH SAFER NOW
BEEN AWHILE SINCE WE’VE BEEN HIT
WHEN HIS COLOUR CHANGES FROM
YELLOW TO RED
TAKE COVER HE HAS TO SHIT
AND HOW BOUT DOCTOR CONDIE
A MODERN FRANKENSTEIN’S BRIDE
WHEN SHE FLASHES THAT BIG GAP SMILE
YOU KNOW SHE’S GOT
SOMETHING TO HIDE
AND THEN THERE’S OLD COLIN POWELL
SPEAKS YIDDISH I UNDERSTAND
BUT I’M STILL UNIMPRESSED
CAUSE HE LIED FOR THE BUSHMAN



THEN THERE’S FUCKING CHENEY
DARTH VADER EXHUMED
HEAR HIS ROBO HEART HUMMING
HOPE HE DROPS DEAD SOON
HE CAN’T STAND CONDOLEEZA
FELT THE SAME ‘BOUT COLIN POWELL
COULDN’T SHARE A ROOM WITH THEM
COULDN’T HIIDE HIS RACIST SCOWL
SEE DICK AND LYNN PRACTICE DECORUM
‘CAUSE THEIR DAUGHTER’S A LESBIAN
MAYBE FORCED RESTRAINT WILL KILL HIM
CAUSE YOU KNOW HE THINKS SHE’S SCUM
WELL IT’S BUSINESS AS USUAL
AS THE CABINET DROPS LIKE FLIES
AS ONE FUCKER HEADS FOR PASTURE
A NEW ONE WILL CONTINUE TO LIE
HAVEN’T HEARD MUCH FROM KERRY
DON’T CARE IF I EVER DO
SO I GUESS I’LL JUST GO
AND PLAY MY DRUMS
WHILE WE’RE ALL GETTING SCREWED
A ROCK AND ROLL NERO
PLAYING WHILE ROME BURNS
NOW MIDDLE AMERICA’S GROUND ZERO
CAUSE THAT’S WHERE DEMOCRACY
COLLAPSED AND CAVED IN

litmus test the downward spiral

LITMUS TEST THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL

HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF WHY IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD, ISRAEL IS THE ONLY COUNTRY, WHO AFTER BEING ATTACKED THREE TIMES IN RECENT MEMORY, IS BEING PUSHED TO RETURN LANDS WON UNDER THE RULES OF WAR?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED WHEN ARE THESE COUNTRIES GOING TO RETURN THEIR TERRITORIAL SPOILS OF WAR?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED WHY WHEN ISRAEL EXPANDS INTO LAND THAT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIR OWN, THE WORLD LABELS THIS EXPANSION AS ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS THAT ELSEWHERE WOULD BE CALLED A SUBDIVISION?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED WHY WHEN A FANATICAL PALESTINIAN OR HAMAS SCUM BLOWS THEMSELVES AND INNOCENT ISRAELIS INTO OBLIVION THE WORLD REMAINS SILENT IN ACCEPTANCE, YET WHEN ISRAEL RETALIATES, MUCH AS AMERICA HAS, THE WORLD SCREAMS FOUL!?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF WHY, WHEN ISRAEL IS SURROUNDED ON TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DEGREES BY MORTAL ENEMIES, IT IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THIS CESSPOOL OF HATRED THAT PROVIDES EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PALESTINIANS WHO FOR THE MOST PART HARBOR DEEP HATRED FOR THE ISRAELIS?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF WHY THE ARAB BROTHERS OF THE PALESTINIANS HAVE DONE LITTLE OR NOTHING TO ASSIST THEM?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED WHY THE WORLD IS UP IN ARMS ABOUT THE WALL THAT ISRAEL HAS BUILT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES?
HAVE YOU ASKED WHY THE WORLD IN GENERAL REFERS TO THIS LIFE SAVING WALL AS AN ACT OF APARTHEID?
HAVE YOU ASKED IF THE WORLD IN GENERAL, OR EVEN THE PALESTINIANS HAVE READ THE BIBLE OR HISTORY BOOKS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHO BELONGS THERE?
HAVE YOU ASKED WHY OR HOW THE PALESTINIANS COULD HAVE HELD SUCH DEEP RESPECT AND ESTEEM FOR ARAFAT AND HIS ABSENT WIFE WHO ARE NO MORE THAN THE MIDDLE EAST VERSION OF THE MARCOS CRIMINAL FAMILY?
HAVE YOU ASKED WHY THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT OUTRAGED THAT A KNOWN TERRORIST AND KILLER, BARGOUTI, HAS CHANGED HIS MIND, AND FROM PRISON HAS DECIDED TO RUN FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PALESTINIANS?

AFTER ALL OF THIS AS YOU DIP THE LITMUS PAPER INTO THE CONSUMMATE PSYCHE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE DO YOU ASK YOURSELF ”HOW MUCH MORE STUPID CAN THIS RAGTAG NATION BECOME?”
AND FINALLY, DO YOU ASK YOURSELF,
“WHEN IS THE REST OF THE WORLD GOING TO RAISE IT’S SLEEPING HEAD FROM THE NUMBING QUAGMIRE OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND WAKE UP TO SEE THE FUCKING TRUTH?”

WELCOME TO THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL!
