I’m a dumb rooster’s beak
I’m a dumb rooster’s beak
pecking broken chunks of cheese
from every event
every moment is astonishment
and if I climb a roof
only left in the ruins
you’ll see my people
behind the sunlit bar
but my next neigbhour
who’s coming in
is a thief and the new label
on the beer we serve
I’m engaging him before
this place is bombarded
with that machine dogs
