My Buddy

Heard a rumor

Genocide

Holocaust

Lookin' like my

Brother

A would be

Savior

Called me to

Graceland

And spoke through

The flames

That engulfed

The defringed

Politically correct

 

“You vote 'no confidence'

the dawn is a comin'

and what I choose

to tell you, you

will know... and

what I keep from

you, you will

never even think”

 

Jim Jones was my uncle

Jesus my father

Gautama my grandfather

 

Speak up Bright eyes

Yell to me

Above the din of evening

Guns?

Give me a kiss

And my imagination

Will build your dream

Beyond death

And rapid fire

9mm guns

Beyond life

And past union

Unified under

Religion of state

I heard a rumor!
