Chris Connelly - Trash (Live - Spoken Word) lyrics

We start from within the confines of a room and it's raining The walls are warping, the electric shorting Is it raining in compa**ion or despair? Where do we go to for shelter? And should we use eachother? The people are coming down fast in extremes They're cursing out loud in the streets Men, Women, Children, and Shattered-faced Creeps Where do we go to for truth? And, like the walls, the truth begins to warp What vision is left? Who cares? We'll be gone this time tomorrow Gone? Gone where? I thought we all decided to stick around And become martyrs Martyrs? Martyrs for what? Diseases don't discriminate They have no feelings. Diseases don't write history books And if they could, who'd read them anyway? If you want to become a martyr, just bury yourself in the soil To your neck and if the poison doesn't take you first, either Me or the worms will You can build or burn as many effigies as you want to But it won't stop your cities from falling down around you This was never a cold war to begin with This isn't nature, this is beyond nature, the violation And ultimately, the murder of nature To make room for something greater Nature has outlived it's usefulness here Let's just call it fair exchange, the old for the new Destroying to rebuild In an uncontrolled self-perpetuating experiment, your blood Will be replaced with toxins, corpuscle for corpuscle We wanted something new and more satisfying to persecute We got so tired of the Jews, the Blacks, the Gays, and the Christians Locate, Subvert, and Terminate, with extreme prejudice The only scientifically pertinent exclamation mark in history Decay is a beautiful thing, because it is the antithesis of nature We'll tear down your rainforests and build ghettos and crack Projects and you can't say a damn thing about it f** you, you started it Decay is a beautiful thing, because it is so contagious and Incurable. The unholy stench of infinite and unmarked graves Breeding, spitting at eachother, and breeding again f** you, you started it Throughout history, a vendetta cannot go on indefinitely A) either a line is drawn B) or it burns itself out into Nothing It's not even a gamble or a risk, it has been embraced with open Arms, embraced with your own moronic gap-toothed grins Forget you ever tried to do right, it's just f** up after f** up after f** up The Bible was a good scapegoat, an excellent diversion, but A sugar-coated bullet none the less Diseases don't believe in God f** you, you started it -Chris Connelly
