Contention Condemnation Blues

CONTENTION CONDEMNATION BLUES

Subject to continuation
I brought a life
I increase the price
A payment of forgiven sins for life
Living large
Heaven’s bars
I caught a rash
Sleeping on a sofa
Nuclear waste trash
In my eye alibi
Couldn’t tell in these times
If the person across the street a girl or a guy
Political up rises
Heavenly guidance
I isn’t a piece of nectar rye bread
Bread in the stomach jelly in my eyes
Strawberry, oatmeal in my shoes?
