about

title inspired by the divine comedy inferno

lyrics

Spending money like it’s water
when I ought to take more care
But everything’s so overpriced I’m pulling out my hair
Hair today and gone tomorrow
when the sorrow starts to follow
To swallow the shallow
To swallow fucking all
Consume every morsel
and clear up all the mess
now it’s time to get undressed
and confess under duress
The stress taking lead
talking weird drinking mead
drinking brew for two
or anything will do
Just between me and you
I’d main line the few
who have answers to it all
, know it alls
posing fools
Useless tools for
Building walls
Like a hammer made of ice ,
that looks nice and shines and glimmers
But shatters with the slightest touch
Disintegrates as you watch
Without so much of a push
so much energy
on very little sympathy
Like a dead accountant
no accountability

No honesty just farce
just lies no class
no truth just masks
That hide and obscure
the smell of manure
The young and mature
Defeat and make pure
Purification or putrefaction
The distraction stops the action
the way to relax them
A time to attack them
Devour as they scour or
curse your power
The hour is late and the time is right
No need to fight
or -for more fighting
Getting exited or finding it frightening
Time is of the essence
The load needs lightening.
A problem shared and all that crap
The cliches are back
for the weak to crack on
And us that don’t belong
are accused of being wrong

everything you do
gets rejected or sent back to you
Return to sender
say the pissy bellenders
Well I wouldn’t defend em
or love or commend them
Who fucking sent them
the bunch of demented yes-men
I’ll see you at the pearly gates
if that’s your fate
or maybe with Dante well traverse
The malebolge
The nine levels would be something to behold
Then maybe you do as your told
With the morning star breathing down your neck
With the sins of others
of fathers and mothers
and the dead and obscene
And the tricky politicians
with their private morticians
Condition yourself
your health both mental and physical for this is your wealth your strength
Your recompense to this immense occurrence
This psychic disturbance perturbing my deliverance
No stability without their belligerence
