"Ghetto Defendant" Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg version
Starved in metropolis
Hooked on necropolis
Addict of Metropolis
Do the worm on the accropolis
Slamdance cosmopolis
Enlighten the populace
Hungry darkness of living
Who will thirst in the pit?
Hooked in necropolis
She spent a lifetime deciding
How to run from it
Addicts of metropolis
Once fate had a witness
And the years seemed like friends
Girlfriends
Now her child has a dream
But it begins like it ends
Shot in eternity
Methadone kitty
Iron serenity
CHORUS
Ghetto defendant
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
That stops you taking the city
Strung out committee
Walled out of the city
Clubbed down from uptown
Sprayed pest from the nest
Run out to barrio town
The guards are itchy
Forced to watch at the feast
Then sweep up the night
Flipped pieces of coin
Broken bottles
Exchanged for birthright
Grafted in a jiffy
Ghetto defendant
It is heroin pity
Strung out committee
Not tear gas nor baton charge
That stops you taking the city
Not sitting pretty
Heroin pity
Grafted in a jiffy
The ghetto prince of gutter poets
Was bounced out of the room
Jean arthur rimbaud
By the bodyguards of greed
For disturbing the tomb
1873
his words like flamethrowers
Paris commune
Burnt the ghettos in their chests
His face painted whiter
Then he was laid to rest
Died in marseille
Ghetto defendant
Buried in charleville
It is heroin pity
Not tear gas nor baton charge
That stops you taking the city
Shut up in eternity
Soap floods oil in water
All churn in the wake
On the great ship of progress
The crew can't find the brake
Klaxons are blaring
The admiral snores command
Submarines boil in oceans
While the armies fight with suns
Guatemala
Honduras
Poland
100 years war
TV re-run invasion
Death squad Salvador
Afghanistan
Meditation
Old Chinese flu
Kick junk
What else
Can a poor worker do?
