I'm hiding here amongst your brood
slowly hush communication
poison I inject the mood
begging for some segregation
Sacrifice one, I implore you please
and load him with your dark emotion
when he's brought down to his knees
allow him access to my potion
Downhill drink and sniff and shoot
twirl him and just step away
most will grind him with their boot
afraid their souls his poor display
The neighbors they will Fedex pity
bind with them so feed them thus
tell them he is in the city
then throw him weak beneath a bus
He'll cobble there in frail despair
rotting in and out
no longer can he ever care
converging with the undevout
Now clear retire hacienda
grand and drama free
you'll have completed an agenda
many infants drowned at sea
