Whats Going Too Far

gangs and murderers running through our streets faster than clam chowder through me

lawless thugs taking over the local jerk-stop motel that caters to whores and the more than
 
occasional cheating spouse

booby trapped meth labs rigged to explode upon entry killing our heroes that save our lives

                T
                  U
                    M
                       L  
                       U                  VIOLENT                                                  
                        T
                       O                                        BRUTAL
                      U
                     S                 MADMEN

                                                                                    VANDALS


              they sound cryptic when they speak

the taste of metal marinates in their mouth


                          their fingers are slippery and the triggers sensitive

firebombs thrown in every direction killing our children

              no one is safe anymore

                                            to a thief  silver has become gold
cars are becoming tombs 

                     how far will you go to keep your family safe

kids killing kids                   
                                        pirates kidnapping our dads and brothers

          friends setting eachother up to be robbed

priests molesting our youth

                                                     police going on killing sprees
judges taking bribes 

                              lawyers under raps 

financial investors leading us to welfare
    
                                                       the economy is DEAD !!!!
