In Loving Memory of Sayyid Qutb

Well fuck your lawn
(It's my favorite shade of green)
Well fuck your white fence
(Property is liberty)
Well fuck your fake smiles
(I'll grin until I'm happy)
Well fuck your 'Coexist'

Well we can lay down by the pool
Yea, we can get drunk on chlorine
'Cause when you live in Renton
You can waste your time as you please

Well fuck your kids
(Jake is my favorite)
Well fuck your TV
(Did you see the Game of Thrones?)
Well fuck your BBQ
(Rare or medium?)
Well fuck your Ski trips

Well you can walk your dog in the park
Or you can play with Master Chief
'Cause when you live in Renton
You are never allowed to leave

Well fuck your malls
Well fuck your abstinence
Well fuck your Block Watch
Well fuck your frozen yogurt
Well fuck your president
Well fuck your lawn, again

The bodies, the bodies
The bodies, the bodies

I voted once, voted twice
I voted for the good guys and the bad guys
I mailed three vials of tear gas to my senator
Did you call yours?

I am a hot-blooded killer
I have petro and mayonnaise in my veins
My body moves on its own, my mind has been erased
I am a vat-grown soldier for the Evil Empire

In my neighborhood everyone lives in solitary confinement
They may go to Doofers or Taco Time
Say "Hi, how are you" to the old man 'cross the street
No matter what, it's all the same cell

It's all the same cell

My flesh is dead weight that I
Have to lug around
Watch me unzip my skin
Past the muscle layer
See me become
Light and sound

There's a skeleton inside me
Got to get it out
Hear it rattle and clink
You can't even blink before
I become
Light and sound

Concrete, some trees
Flickering neon red
White lines, yellow lines
Rows of cars for sale

Exit signs, next stops
Denny's or Burger King
Billboards, flat land
Here's where the radio ends

Been here before
Pieces of different puzzles
Drive off the edge
It'd all still look the same

So this is the whole rest of my life?
I'm just like you
