Transient
SAL
I know you're trying to protect me
Searching for another truth
With your language and your poetry
From my ignorance and youth
Hey I did not come to argue
My life never made much sense
I just wish that I could hug you
You're my only defense
I don't understand your writing
I could barely sign my name
All I ever learned was fighting
But I'm not the only one to blame
The streets were dark with danger
I have to stand up for my friends
In a land where I'm a stranger
And the hatred never ends
INMATE
Killer wants to go on T.V.

Still Flat
and you tell me this and you tell me that
no matter how the thing grows it's still flat
and you showed me this
and you showed me that
because of where you came from
you know where it's at
another Marxist celebration
this time with pipes instead of guns
with very little dedication
to anything that isn't fun
it's gonna take some dedication
it's gonna take some dedication
and you showed me this and you showed me that
because of where I came from
you know where I'm at
and you tell me this and you tell me that
no matter how round it feels it's still flat
it's still flat
another cosmic demonstration
with stars colliding into suns
it doesn't take imagination
it's just the way this stuff is done
better than your imagination
