Subatomic critical
a 'Malthusian' nightmare
mass murder, we' a particle
Neutron Bomb, Warfare

Nay dinner tonight)

Scot Free

The greatest financial swindle in history
and the mongrels walk away, scot free
bankers and politicians
guilty, in the first degree

Street Urchin

o what poverty
bairns se manket
picking through bins
tinkys, in bare feet

Wretched wee things
in rags run aboot
street urchins, orphans
begging fur food

Ode to Ezra

Caged like an animal
Fur what ye believe
In 'Berias' asylum
A Red Symphony

In Poets Corner
The liberty bell sounds
Fur yon Freedom Fighter
The Great Ezra Pound

American Petroleum

phosphorus, napalm
'let's burn 'em alive'
anyway, history's written
by those wha survive

melting her flesh
in agony, screams
as the neon lights flash
'American Petroleum'

Dispensable Sayel

under Christ's banner
they march aff te war
infected, we' patriotic fever
blinded, by propaganda

mass murder, on
an industrial scale
fur it seems the proletarian
has a, dispensable sayel

murder their political opponents
