Who Are You?

Documentary evidence in wastelands of images, 
Spliced and then diced and then pasted; 
Wasted cold eyes on a star laden guillotine, 
Wasted and wasted and wasted... 

I will not fall for the cheap cardboard rhapsody, 
Drummed and then hummed and then screaming; 
Tricks taught and force-fed to old dogs regardlessly, 
Dreaming and dreaming and dreaming... 

Is this a pact with some satanic majesty, 
Declined and then signed with a keyboard of treason? 
Souls sold as cheaply as tack in a cracker, 
No reason, no reason, no reason... 

Rattled camcorders in technical sorcery, 
Shaken and taken to hell and damnation; 
Absentee landlords, what tenets dispense me 
Salvation, salvation, salvation...?
