E
Go without
Til the need seeps in
A
You low animal
E
Collect your novel petals for the stem
And glow, glow, melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
A
And spill it out on the ragged floor
E
A thousand different versions of yourself
B
And if the old guard still offend
A
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce
Of your bright blood
E
And off with their heads
Jump from the hook
A
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
E
See those unrepenting buzzards want your life
A
And they got no right
As sure as you have eyes
E B A
They got no right
E A
E
Just put yourself in my new hooves
And see that I do what I do
B
Because the old guard still offend
A
We got nothing left on which we depend
So we waste every ounce
Of your bright blood
E
And off with their heads
Jump from the hook
And you're not obliged
To swallow anything that you despise
