THE MARSHALS ARE DEAD
​
Attention
Unbelievers
Fashion victims
Opportunists
Blood sport
Cop killer
Don't trust art
Don't trust culture
Cancel
Your thoughts out forever
(Forever)
Milk it and strain it to residue
An insult that dilates forever
(Forever)
Passing
From history that's made from arrangements
(Forever)
Of tannoys and cordons in symmetry
That cancel forever
(Forever)
A curse on
Your houses
Rivers run
With your sons' blood
No case for
Extenuation
All the marshals are dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Cancel
Your thoughts out forever
(Forever)
Milk it and strain it to residue
An insult that dilates forever
(Forever)
Passing
From history that's made from arrangements
(Forever)
Of tannoys and cordons in symmetry
That cancel forever
(Forever)
Spring breaks
In ranks and in boulevards
A country that makes us
But cannot contain us
