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
