———————————————————-

DEUS EX AMERICA
we build the sets
cue lines to rehearse
we direct these tragedies
we write the verse
we call them bad actors
cast them as the villains
we play heroic gods
descending from the heavens
deus ex america
we set the stage
stick to the script
we produce these tragedies
+we charge for tickets
it’s a bomb
every day’s their 9/11
bow down to exploding gods
descending from the heavens
deus ex america

PERSONA NON GRATA
persona non grata
imprisoned by walls and water
squatter intifadas
they’re all just fodder
persona non grata
drown in Mediterranean water
unwanted on any continent
they’re all just fodder
persona non grata
chased across the Meghna water
systematically slaughtered
they’re all just fodder

persona non grata
die in the desert with no water
getting harder +harder to get any farther
they’re all just fodder
persona non grata
enslaved by our forefathers
robbers in the blotter
they’re all just fodder
persona non grata
why should we even bother
our modern god’s the dollar
every day we create a martyr
persona non grata
in the name of law and order
injustices are lauded
persona non grata

AD NAUSEAM
half of the truth
without any proof
too many lies to rebuke
it makes me wanna puke
ad nauseam
repeated untruths
tooth for a tooth
too many lies to rebuke
it makes me wanna puke
ad nauseam

AD HOMINEM
he looks like a loser
she sounds so stupid
they’re the problem
that’s your whole argument
well I don’t like your fuckin face
+I know you’ve got no fuckin brain
so really, there’s nothing left to say
we’ve reached the end of this debate
I must be stupid
I got dragged into it
am I the problem
did I even have an argument
no you don’t like my fuckin face
+u know I’ve got no fuckin brain
so really, there’s nothing left to say
we’ve reached the end of this debate
this is stupid
we’re both losers
ego bruisers
hypocritical accusers
oh we wanna punch each other’s face
cause neither of us has got a brain
so really, there’s nothing left to say
we’ve reached the end of this debate
