Modern Day Martyr

Trash control like a modern day martyr
Sugar coated thoughts and bad fire water
Loose lipped terrorist plotting evil deeds
Encrypted messages fueled by caffeine
Amphetamine dreams stopped your speech in silence
More thought provoking than life on an island
Holy rollers coming with a notepad
Convincing you that a rebellion tastes bad

Teeth rot away but your brain is thinking
Excess fluid and your body is sinking
Depths of hell right here on in the city
Hold your head up high as things are shitty
Bombs away on your sense of morals
Rusting cages come from quarrels
Six inches deep cut into your skin
Pay your penance for a life of sin

Have mercy for a man glued to his TV
They sold him lies and he just can't believe he
Fell for the pitch of a greasy slacker
Now he dines on piles of saltine crackers
Four walls come down when the rain starts up
This whole damn system seems corrupt
As the land of the free is only free with cash
But we'll all burn away and become black ash
