Outcome

Seventeen years in the city, static clinging to the ceiling

Never did I think it would come to this

(Outcome is different than I expected)

Never did I think it would come to this

(Outcome is different than I expected)

Bright cops and cheerleaders

Eyebrows painted on their heads

A mouthful of rotting cavities

Drinking Coca-Cola in the street

Never did I think it would come to this

(Outcome is different than I expected)

Never did I think it would come to this

(Outcome is different than I expected)

Shot in the leg, shot in the leg

My leg is a bone, nobody home

My hand is a wire, the skies are fire

The drums are beating, pistols and jeans

Left for dead, left for dead

Left for dead, dead as a fly
