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?
