Track 2.0

Welcome to government

by the stupid and intolerant

they solve the trolley problem adding homeless to the tracks


Unholy covenant

colour coded and indifferent

The devil's got the good looks and the sharpest goddamn suits


No answer to the queries

can this weariness endure?

Our hero took a potshot

but his stamina was gone:


he slipped and he slid and he swung and he missed

you slip and you slide and you swing and you miss


so swift we gurgle laugh

another vertebra has cracked

crumbled how and ever low

and ever so, o ever so


The grifters resonant

Impeccably elegant

No talk of revolution from self-immolating meffs


But it's significant

They're miles from the front:

Where better for a murder than the Orient Express?


Maybe the question ain't about which lever will you pull

but who it is demanding that you do it

Cause if they're not able to flick the switch themselves

then in our hands rests power over life - and over death
