Starved on Metropolis
Hooked on Necropolis
Addict of Metropolis
Do the worm on Acropolis
Slamdance the Cosmopolis
Enlighten the populace
Hungry darkness of living
Who will thirst in the pit
Hooked in Metropolis
She spent a lifetime deciding
How to run from it
Addict of Metropolis
Once fate had a witness
And the years seemed like friends
Girlfriends
Now her child has a dream
But it begin like it ends
Shot into eternity
Methadone kitty
Iron serenity
Ghetto Defendant
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
That stops you taking the city
Strung out committee
Walled out of the city
Clubbed down from uptown
Sprayed pest from the nest
Run out to Barrio Town
The guards are itchy
Forced to watch at the feast
Then sweep up the night
Flipped pieces of coin
Broken bottles
Exchanged for birthright
Graphted in a jiffy
Ghetto Defendant
It is heroin pity
Strung out committee
Not tear gas nor baton charge
That stops you taking the city
Not sitting pretty
Graphted in a jiffy
Strung out committee
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
The ghetto Prince of gutter poets
Was bounced out of the room
Jean Arthur Rimbaud
By the bodyguards of greed
For disturbing the tomb
1873
His words like flamthrowers
Paris Commune
Burnt the ghettos in their chests
His face painted whiter
And he was laid to rest
Died in Marseille
Ghetto Defendant
Buried in Charleville
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
Shot into eternity
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
To stop you taking the city
Guatemala, Honduras, Poland, the Hundred Years' War
TV re-running living
Death squads, Salvador
Afghanistan, meditation
Old Chinese flu
Kick junk. What else can a poor worker do?
Ghetto Defendant
