open prison


 open prison  

an open prison barred in by infection
some mask to avoid some run toward
same ol’ being the answer to you ok?
a voice on the radio says to stay home
don’t leave town as people head for their 
summer cottage probably return when
the cold bites to the radiators rattle
gutter fair come eat where you
parked your car step inside
for infection free eating deny deny
parks are full at weekends picnics
ball thrown some caught masks few
why bother young outside death only
a skull on a halloween black t-shirt
how many more will be taken our
jailer is doing very well never better

  1. Death Don't Have No Mercy

    Y'know death don't have no mercy in this land
    Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land
    Come to your house, you know he don't take long
    Look in bed this morning, children find your mother gone.
    I said death don't have no mercy in this land.
    Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
    Death will leave you standing and crying in this land, in this land, yeah!
    Whoa! come to your house, why' know he don't stay long,
    Why' look in bed this morning,
    Children you find that your brothers and sisters are gone.
    I said death don't have no mercy in this land.
    Death will go in any family in this land.
    Death will go in any family in this land.
    Come to your house, you know he don't take long.
    Look in the bed on the morning, children find that your family's gone.
    I said death don't have no mercy in this land.
    Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
    In this land. whoa! come to your house,
    Why' know it don't stay long, why' look in bed this morning,
    Children find that your brothers and sisters are gone.
    I said death don't, death don't have no mercy in this land.
