Bound To Rust

Fucking circus just pulled into town
Flimflam ringmaster wants to burn it down
Unelected sidekick dancing like a clown
Psychotic logic a smile conceals a frown

How much more has to happen?
To wake them from perpetual sleep?
Disappearing those humans they hate
When it’s the billionaires inflicting pain

This self-induced fall from grace
Turning heel as the world watches in disgust
Pulling the rug while rigging the race
Without allies our foundation is bound to rust

Make America ignorant while killing hope
Propaganda on steroids made to rot minds
What happens when they kidnap her?
The loving wife and mother of your kids?
Is it getting close enough to home yet?
When the eggs soar to an ungodly amount
Will it trigger the correct response this time?
Do I have to be offed for speaking the truth?

Show me a sign of life out there
Someday soon this could all be gone
There’s no pulse a vacant stare
Empty zombie is a voluntary pawn

This self-induced fall from grace
Turning heel as the world watches in disgust
Pulling the rug while rigging the race
Without allies our foundation is bound to rust

Author's Note
Late night musing. Everything comes full-circle, I've said that many times. But this is the kinda lyrical flavor I would have penned in the early DeadLove days. It even has a chorus. lol. This style feels old school, can hear the riff from, J.J. Burton, in my head. Appreciate you.
