Status Knockout
I hope you are watching, because you are not
The type with window panes, winter sunglasses on
Your naked clean eyes, watch for my sort
From the heartless gains, on what I own
Behind that courtyard, whose pregnant owner
The reason we starve, slim and thin
Behind that mansion, near my cowshed shelter
From the heart I dive, some sympathy to win
When my wife sunk, deep in Death Sea
My wail in volume, his wall de barrier
For he called a skunk, in a nest to see
From the heart I resume, troublesome carrier
My son half orphaned, her tummy inflated
For a meal is luck, and luck is lacked
Red earth no help, the wall still erected
From my heart weary, my chestless sucked
